The Wife now says she just wants to sell both cars. I would like to get them out of my yard... If your close and are interested let me know...

The Sea foam alloed the car to idle a little better. It has been a few days since I tried it. Last Time I cranked it, With the peddle to the floor it ran @ 500 RPM then slowly climbed to 1500 before dieing. I am very tempted at this point to get a couple of gallons of "safety cleen" Solvent and hook it up to a pump and simply let it cycle threw the fuel rails for a few hours and see if that will help. I would use carb cleaner (like you use when rebuilding a carb) but I suspect that it would hurt something.

the gas that came out of the car looked like thin coffee or strong tea.. Yea Strong Tea.. Think I need a cup

I drained all the gas out of the tank using a siphon and letting the fuel pump push the last little bit out. I then added sea foam to 6 gallons of super unledded gas and put that in the tank. I wanted to pull the trumpet looking set of tubes off and use carb cleaner to clean the inside of the injectors but I was too afraid of tearing something up. it is all pretty well stuck together....

I bought the 79 280Z for my Step daughter she has had it for 6+ months and it has ran great. The other day her uncle drove the car bought some gas, right after that it died. I went by replaced the fuel filter ( it looked like it had honey in it) the car now will idle, it has 30 PSI fuel pressure @ idle and 38 with the engine off. The readings were taken on the engine side of the fuel filter. I can spray carb cleaner in the air breather and the car will run fine and rev nicely. So I know it's a fuel issue. If I turn the key on for a few seconds then crank the car it idles fine for a few seconds then struggles to idle. If you hold the gas down it you can hear it Moan and backfire through the intake a bit. then when you let off it reves up for a second or two then goes back to rought idle. Any Ideas?
