Another thought based on an experience I had... If any fuel lines are bent too far so that they've crimped themselves they could be letting through just enough fuel to run on, until it's really sucking it down, then it'll die until you back off and wait for the floats to refill.. Happened to me and for about a week I couldn't figure out why any acceleration above 70km/h made the car die... damn previous owner. -
I think a certain amount of visible 'security' is a good thing. I've got 2 immobilising devices in 2 different circuits, but I still ended up with a hole in my passenger side door, a stuffed ignition switch and a ripped up dash where they searched for a way to start it. That's the only reason I use a steering wheel lock now, and the reason I've added a flashing light to one of the immobilisers.

AHA! You're right, it looks like it did indeed originally hook up to the tacho ( - ) lead, as it comes out of the harness inside the car instead of the other side of the firewall as I had originally expected... I guess thats the price I pay for not pulling the harness from the donor car myself Thanks for the help guys!

Hi all, I'm 90% of the way through transplanting a 280z EFI system into my 260z. I'm hooking up the wiring harness, and I can't find the ignition coil ground wire which the 280z EFI book refers to. Supposedly there's a wire which goes from the computer to the ground side of the ignition coil, however the only spare ground wire I've got is one hanging off the bottom of the throttle body? Anyone know whether the one on the bottom of the throttle body is actually the wire I'm after or whether this wire should be sticking out of my wiring harness somewhere? Has someone got a photo of this particular wire in it's natural habitat? That would be fantastic...

Sounds like it could very well be a blown head gasket. I had my head gasket blow next to the #6 cylinder through the water jacket and had rough idle + going through a LOT of coolant (i could pour it slowly into the radiator while running the engine and it would never overflow!).
