    <geeez> :stupid: Where the heck does the black wire that comes off the coil on my 82zx go? The car still runs without it being hooked up but i'm sure it is suppose to go somewhere? And..... i know this isn't an electrical question but where can i find a schematic for the hoses. i have a feeling some of them are not right?

    STEPHEN, thanks so much for all of your help! And thanks for not making me feel like a complete idiot. You know it can really be rough out here, and well ... i do know a lil about engines , but it's kinda odd with the Z i'm afraid i'll really screw something up if i start screwing around with stuff. My X was a master Mech. for infinity . and well i paid attention, but with my Z it can really be kinda nuts. So once again, thank you so much

    Would it be a wise choice since i have already replaced the fuel pump to go ahead and also replace the fuel pressure regulator/sensor ?< which ever is correct>Gosh i feel so darn stupid ~~~~~~~~~>Are these really just dingy blonde questions or what? i hate to be such a pest? :paranoid:

    Guess what? it was the darn fuel pump!!!! I finally went on the internet and found a site that told me how to check the fuel pressure and did all that and found out that there was only 10 lbs. of pressure. GOOD LORD!!! No wonder the poor lil thing didn't wanna go anywhere? ha. Once again thanx everyone for all your input that guided me in the right direction.

    Victor, my u know me so well, i spend alot of time down at the pick-a-part on blinn also the ecology on lomita blvd. They know me on a first name basis. Really, i love going in there. Kills a couple of hours on sundays. and i get to go in and take things apart to see how they work, I LOVE IT! THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP EVERYONE. As i said the car is at Z-world and they are all great guys, but they really do give me a hard time down there. Just wish they would stick to one mechanic working on my car. Seems like everytime i take the car in some other mechanic is working on it and has found another problem. I just want it to purrrrrrr, and its been in the shop now for 2 weeks. i told them to do what ever it takes. soooooooo, i've given them a $100.00 a day for past 2 weeks. i know that should cover the bill. and can't wait for the purrrrrr!!!!!!

    Yes sir Mr. Datsunologist Sir, Thats what we are talking about, And as far as how do i know it is bad..... personally i don't. And at this point i just want my beautiful car back , cruising down p.c.h. with the t-tops off and not choking to death in the process. The mechanic at Z-World where i have my car, just sort of said it had a problem so i told him to add to the bill and fix the Freaking thing. also replaced the air flow meter, and some vac. hoses and throttle position sensor, really , let me be the first to admit that anything electrical......well lets not go there? ha! As far as how it was running well, not very well, it idled okay i guess didn't sound like it was missing or anything, but it had some black smoke from exhaust and there was no giving it the gas or punching it cause the ol'gal would just plain choke out and sputter and the fumes were about to make me go loopy if i was driving on city streets, and well since it had no get up and go the hwy. was out of the question, Sorry so long but u asked? Now any thoughts > ooohpleeez

    Thank you very much Wayne, the machanic did say it was on the distrib. so at least i know u know a lil something about what your talking about and thanks so much for the run down on what it is, and what it does, Was in the garage all full of guys and didn't wanna stick around for the dumb blonde jokes so had to come on line to my good ol'pals at classic Z, i knew someone would give me a clue. Once again THANKS

    Yeah, Well I Think I Can Handle Putting A New Afm In On My Own, So Gonna Have Him Put The Ol'girl Up On A Full Car Dolly And Bring Her Home!!!
  16. ooohpleeez replied to ooohpleeez's post in a topic in Help Me !!
    well i didn't think i was <problem with fuel inj.> and the reason the car went to shop to begin with was the afm. and 280zgod <peach of a guy> sent me some information on the afm that really helped me to understand the darn thing anyway. truely i think the mechanic would just love to get his fingers all over my car, was even trying to talk me into dropping a v8 in it? i think i'll just keep to the afm being replaced! THANKS FOR ANY AND ALL INPUT.
