[2011] What did you do to/with your S30 today?
Been a long time since i was here.. My 260 has been sitting in my garage since 2007, only moved a few times as life got busy (and i now drive a Lexus IS-F, which put the Z on the back burner). Decided to bring her back and get some cruises in- of course the passenger wheel cylinder leaked and drained the MC, the driver side was a rusted hulk, etc. Long story short, she is running well, and has all new brake hardware- ready for NY inspection Monday. Can't wait to take a nice ride through wine country again! Jeremiah

73 240z shuts off while driving
i had a loose connection at the coil, or bad ballast resistor that would do that long ago.

Idles, But Sputters & Stalls @ Slight Throttle-up
Hmmm So, if you pull the covers from the float bowls, there is plenty of fuel in both? Fuel is getting through the filter at the banjo fitting, and through the needle/seat assembly? It sounds like it could be way too lean? When you try to apply any throttle, the added air coming in leans it out so much it stalls? Will it rev with the choke applied? How many turns out do you have the mixture screws at the bottom of the nozzles? This is one i wish i could go "hands on"! Do you own the Ztherapy carb tape? Just reread what you wrote- as far as "default Jet Height"- whaddya mean? You mean adjusting mixture, or how you set the needles? Keep plugging, we're gonna fix this!

Huh. Sounds like you've addressed all you can think of. Has the carb adjustment been toyed with? Does the choke on/off change anything? Have you checked the floats in the carb bowls (not bowels, eww...)? Seems unlikely both floats would crap out at the same time.. How lean/rich are/were they set? Keep us informed, Jeremiah
