    A buddy of mine owns a used car dealership, and his grandfather recently passed away. We were going through some old hubcaps he was collecting and found these... http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b82/1BADLS1/zhub2.jpg I figured they were from an 80's model zx, but wasn't sure. Has anyone seen these hub caps before?

    Alright, just wanted to say thanks for all your help, Never got the fuel pump working off of the stock harness, but ended up pulling the pump, and noticed that the strainer in the inlet line for the pump was filled up with gunk. cleaned that out and replaced the fuel feed line from the tank to the pump, and got fuel back to the rail. The next day the pump went out so i replaced it. Now the car runs, but misfires like crazy, and runs really rich (blowing black smoke), the car sounds like it has a huge cam in it. Pulled the spark plugs and they are all fouled, but the #'s 1,2,5,6 cylinders were really bad. Going to try swapping injectors, and see if that helps, is the fuel pressure regulator a common problem with these FI systems??

    Yeah i know i need the FSM and usually i would wait to get it before i asked a bunch of questions but man i want to drive my car. Thanks guys, that helps alot, now lets see if i can get this thing to run.

    I pulled the entire relay box out. It has 5 relays in it, 1 of which was not used. The fuel injection relay does not click or make any noise when you turn the car to the "on" position. Is there another way to test them out of the car, like running a 12v to one of the pins and grounding another and getting some voltage out of another. Actually none of them clicked or made noise when the car was on. What are the other plugs for? I beleive what i read was that the ecm runs through the relay and then to the injector harness, correct? So if the relay was bad, could this could explain both my fuel pump problems, and why the injectors would not be pulsing? The very bootom was not used. The big one above that had a lot of blue wires, the one to the far right i believe is the one ofr the fule injection relay and i dont know what the others go to.

    Yeah that helps. None of my local parts stores had a haynes for a 78'. I ordered a FSM for a78' last night so hopefully that will keep me from getting on and wasting anymore of your time. Thanks again.

    After reading a bunch of threads on here, which were helpful in eliminating some of my other questions, ive got a question. I have read the the 78's FI were different than the other years. Where is the FI relay and dropping resistors located at on a 78'? I have the entire dash off and i can trace the ecm harness all the way into the engine bay and they do not ever split off to a relay or anything. I looked right above the ecm where the FI bible says they are and also a 77' FSM (used to own a 77') said they were, but nothing. My problem is my injectors are not firing. I have fuel to the rail, and spark but the engine wont run. If i spray starting fluid in the intake it runs fine until i stop spraying. Went to test the FI relay plug on the ecm connector and there isnt one. The PO says that this car drove perfect before it sat for a year.
