my landlord wont let me keep the car where it is parked because it does not run. need to get rid of it by next this coming tuesday. will be parting out or selling entire car if anyone buys the car you will need to come tow it out of my parking space. :mad: good things that have been done to the car new coil, new plugs, new wires , new filter , new oil , rebuilt carbs cleaned up gas tank removed as much rust as possible, bypassed interlock. the bad , interior is taken apart , car does not run and theres rust as we all know.

ok key off 12.5 volts at battery , key on 12.5 volts at battery, start position 12.5v drop to 5.42v from B+ to solenoid . (B+ and B- cables heating up and so is the starter, click from inside of car and starter can be heard when key switched to start position.)

thanks , ill get to that as soon as possible gonna ask my buddy to come over and help me with that will post another update once i get the voltage measured with key on , off and at start.

between #49 and #53 i fixed the stuck nozzles and got the car to start but the starter was continously on even after the engine had started. next day starter didnt work, then i went to the store and got a new one and had it tested there as well (good new starter). installed it and it only cranked for a second then everything stopped working cables got hot starter got hot and battery voltage was at 12.8 with charger connected set on 12v 10 amps . tried without charger and same results , just heard starter click once and everything started to get hot battery voltage dropped to around 12.5 after trying to crank it. *frustrated* one problem after another.

heres how my battery and starter are connected. both starter and cables get hot and dont turn on.

thanks for the quick response , ill go get a picture and post it in a few minutes:classic:

thanks , now i know i got the starter wired up right , but i still cant figure out why the negative and positive cables including the starter itself:stupid: are hot to touch and starter doesnt want to turn on. battery is good 12.6v and starter is new had the auto part store test it before i bought it .

can some one show me a picture of how their starter is wired up please, i just want to make sure i got it right and i did look at the FSM. weird problem starter now does not turn over . positve , negative cables are HOT to touch and so is the starter itself. the wire circled i dont know where that goes... but it seems to give power to acc .

cleaned out nozzles now they can move freely. new problem car starts but seems like starter wont disengage even though the engine is already running.

choke cable doesnt move nozzles at all its completely siezed so took carbs off and soaking in pb blaster penetrating oil. not sure how long its going to take before they loosen up. also re-adjusted idle screw per post above by captain.

Thanks for the informative response i'll check all that tomorrow morning as for the ztherapy option its too pricey for me. I'm just trying to get the car run at the moment. progress so far Car doesn't crank > Fixed Cranking but no fuel > Fixed Starts at basically Wide open throttle foot off the pedal. oh and when i serviced the carbs i did make sure all linkage was lubed up nicely and was able to move freely. cleaned pistons and needles making sure they move up and down nice. just Really at a lost at why it would start and rev up really high without me being even on the gas.

Back in town , rebuilt carbs . now the car starts but wont idle. when the car starts its like its at wide open throttle and my foots not even no the pedal.... help whats wrong and what do i need to do??

round tops *i was told these carbs didn't come on the 74's*

no fuel going to carb by the firewall. 1.checked all lines had fuel coming from mechanical fuel pump. 2.filled fuel bowl and engine fired up. gotta rebuild carbs or upgrade . any suggestions?

1.rinsed out as much rust as i can with water and soap from gas tank. 2. dumped 6 gallons of white vinegar into gas tank to eat out remaining rust. 3. went to dismantling yard and got lucky ran into a 78 280z and pillaged the filler neck. 4. found replacement fuel pump at oreilly auto parts and gas cap for 280z filler neck gas cap NAPA AUTO PARTS fuel pump NAPA AUTO PARTS

1. yes the pump was tested off of the car . 2.fuel pump relay no idea where thats located if there is one. 3.also about the rx7 pumps i searched no one states clearly what year rx7 to get the pump from.

yes sir pump is dead following tests were done. 1.apply 12 volt source pump does not work. 2.check voltage while car was cranking zero 0.068 volts coming from connector. 3.remove electric fuel pump run hose from mechanical fuel pump to 1 gallon of gas . 4.check fuel lines and theyre filled with fuel *clean fresh fuel*

ok so fuel tanks off , fuel lines not clogged, but no fuel coming out of carbs. electric fuel pump *dead* what should i do now?

Thanks again for the ongoing help guys. Fuel tank is now off of the car. Bad news * poured out 5 gallons of rusted orange fuel*. will check fuel pump and lines tomorrow.

thanks for all the advice so far , so now i'm back in LA for the time being and did the bypass it now cranks , interlock system failed so i had no power to starter. anyway now i have a new problem no fuel. ill be dropping the fuel tank tomorrow to see whats going on in there and as for the carbs is there anything i can soak those in to possible get rid of varnish if any are there? i did some reading and some people mentioned electric fuel pump with a relay, any advice on thaT?

thanks for the heads-up things on the list right now 1-get starter working 2-get gas cap *for really large opening filler neck that no auto part store has* 3-see if car will start or if theres any other problems. 4-rust repair 5-need to get new rubber for wheels

will be heading back to L.A to tinker with the car on monday. *itching to get this Z running*
