I recently had a problem getting a 83 turbo Z. It has a Crane Fireball ign. system, and I was thinking no start was related to a faulty component in this system. Turned out to be no power to CAS due to bad connection. As soon as I fixed this she started, and ran, athough not so great. I have installed new plugs, wires, rotor, dist. cap,and air filter along with oil change. Now she starts, and even idles decently except at around 1500 rpm instead of 750 rpm. When I actuate throttle, she backfires and dies when cold. If I let her warm up decently, and then hit throttle, she will still backfire,{ through exhaust} but she will stay running. I should also mention that gas tank had less than an eighth of a tank of stale gas in it. The original owner thought he would do me a favor and put 5 dollars in vehicle, which Iappreciatted. The only problem is that he didnt drain old gas, just added new gas to the stale stuff. I wouldnt think that this would cause a serious problem as Ime having. What do you guys think?Also, do you think this could be related to bad CAS? It has symptoms like a timng chain jumped, or some other timing problem. Is there a way to test CAS without an ocsilloscope or engine analyzer,as I have neither? Thanks to all members and guests for help in past. I love all my Z's, but we all know how tempermental they can be. Thanx again.
