Quintillion977

Update: I was out of town for five days and came back. Z is still running and starting perfectly. This is still the same not-so-fresh gas that I had when the hot start issue popped up the one time.

Yesterday I drove around all day. Ran errands with lots of 15 minute stops, drove in traffic, and opened it up on some of my favorite lines. Ran like a champ and started right up every time.

I am inclined to blame the fuel rail after reading what rossiz said. I had never seen the fuel rail mod until I just Googled it... interesting. The gas in it it kinda old (April). I am about to run some errands in the Z and put some fresh gas in the tank. Wish me luck and I will report back.

'77 280Z, stock injectors (recently cleaned and flow-matched, two were replaced) on stock fuel rail. MSA 6-1 header with stock heat shield. I drove it daily until I was out of the area for pretty much all of 2013 without a problem. Came back in November and went right back to it with no issue whatsoever. It sat parked since March and I just drove my truck but now that the weather is nice (and hot...) I decided to bring out the Z. Ran it for a while and took it around the block to make sure it was ready for the commute. Ate dinner and went out to start it back up and nothing. Hot weather? Maybe. I didn't try the usual starter disconnect/run the pump trick because I was... disappointed. That worked for me in the past (I feel your pain, rossiz, and I was also thinking about a toggle switch for this purpose). I will tinker with injector fans and see if that helps.
