    hi i own a 1983 280 zx and i just fine tuned the car. it has been sitting for a year. it wouldnt even start when i bought it. changed the plugs, wires distributor, tps, tvs, fuel filter and it idles great. when i take it for a drive or rev it up it wants to stall out. after driving it 4 miles it wants to quit running. the engine is hot and the catilatic con. getts so hot you could roast marshmallows under there. i think the car needs a new catilatic con. anybody run in to this problem. thanks much appreciated canadian eh!
