PacNW280ZX

1980 280ZX standard (non-turbo, standard trans). On extremely hot days (keep in mind this is the Pacific NWest - Seattle region, so high 80s/low 90's max) I can drive anywhere but once I stop the Z doesn't start right away ... takes a couple of tries before she starts up. Hot days don't happen too often so I didn't sweat it. Ok ... the other day I am driving, pull up and while idling the Z dies. Never, every happened before. Won't re-start in 3 tries. I dink around looking at/checking things for a 10 - 15 minutes, get in and it starts right up. Long and short of it ... I manage to get home and check: yep I can recreate the situation. If cold, she starts. Once warm (stopped stalling actually) and I turn off and try to restart, it won't start. Eventually, after about an hour of doing this while checking different things (wires, plugs, fuel pump working, vacuum hoses not leaking) between cool down periods the Z gave up the ghost -- won't start. So ... to me this seems to be a temperature related issue that grew into a part failure. Now the trick is to find that part. [That is not to say it is related to the item I noted at the beginning (high temp day and hard to start) ... that is just one of those things that has been in the back of my mind so I noted it.] Any ideas yall have would be checked ... I am going to start with the basics, none of which will hurt anything ... since she is due for some basic parts replacements: wires, rotor, cap, coil/solenoid, air filter. Hoping, if it isn't a basic item, someone will have an idea(s) I can check out. One last item, a parts identification, if you will: the coil/solenoid mounting bracket on the 80 280zx also mounts an item with a lead wire coming in the top and a 'ground' wire coming out the opposite end and attached to the base of the distributor shaft (grounded there). It is small and cylindrical ... looks a lot like a condensor (but ignition is electronic on this model.) Part number is NCC 47DQ-G16 ... additional information: 250 V .47M Anyone know what this is? Best I can come up with is either a condensor or balast resistor ... Haynes manual shows a condensor next to the coil/solenoid for the 80. Thanks in advance and thanks in hindsight for all the good information I have already found here. C Doyal Pacific NWest
