I have three parts that all look the same, one has a label that can be read clearly and it has this information on it: 17011 N4765 A40-000 008 8214 L28 The 8214 is 'stamped' on the label and presumably the serial number, I can only guess that the L28 indicates the part is for the L28 engine. I have Googled the other numbers and come up with nothing. Has hose inlet/outlet so I'm thinking a pump of some kind. I have another part to add here, it's a section of wiring with a part number 27155 E4400 which I was also unable to locate via Google.

I was driving around 60mph, dropped it into 4th to pass some traffic then soon after I noticed the gauges all stopped working and realized the engine was off. Once i got to a stop I tried to start it, it cranked but wouldn't turn. The lights for the gauges work fine but the needles on them are all pointing south now like the way they would be when the car gets shut off. My alarm and parking lights also all work fine. The car ran fine prior to this happening. I'm thinking there is a direct correlation to the gauges not working and the engine not turning over, something electrical, blown fuse or relay? Has anyone else had this type of problem or know what the problem may be…

My Z overheated on the way home last night, and spewed out most of it's coolant. I took it into our shop and put it up on the lift today to figure out what happened. Looks like my heater core line is shot. It's fine when cold (because the thermostat isn't open) but as soon as it warms up coolant starts pouring out. I had a small leak (little dripping) there a few months ago, but tightening the clamps cleared that up. I was hoping to do the same this time (you can see I added a new clamp today) but it didn't work. I have the replacement hoses from MSA and am willing to pull everything but I'd like your guys' advice. Have any of you replaced these hoses while everything…

Ok I've been searching this for days and can't really figure it out. I've adjusted my floats as far up as I can. The fuel level at the carb is about 1/2-1" below the jet. Either way I adjust, I can't get the fuel level up high enough (a tiny bit under the top of the jet right?) Choke is disconnected, (car starts without choke, is this normal for a Tropical climate?) and jets are butt up against the adjuster nut. The float valves work fine, tested and cleaned probably 10 times now. Fuel rises and maintains a certain level like it's supposed to, except too low. I've tried adjusting to FSM and that didn't work either. Any ideas? I'm stumped. Thanks -Vaughan

M son is driving from BC to Ontario in a 240z with 10,000miles on a rebuilt L28 triple webers. 280 distributor, xr700/PS92 ignition. Fuel pressure is 3.5 psi. It ran fine for 12 hours to Calgary, in heavy rain. Now , without any load, sitting in the driveway, he says it sounds perfect at idle, and it revs up high just fine. But as soon as he tries to let the clutch out to drive, it stumbles, coughs, won't develop power. It then tries to rev up and go, then stumbles again. At high RPMs it will go, but not up a hill. It will not maintain power up a hill, or under load. He noticed a spark plug wire came off, and another lost the connector end, but that was fixed, and the pr…

Well, earlier i had posted a picture of my engine all torn apart so i could clean it up a bit. Everything from the air cleaners to the Intake Manifold came off. It was running great before hand, but now that ive put it all back on its running really really fast. First time starting it up, once it had a sip of gas it went right up to 5k before i shut her off. I pulled the fast idle scew down as far as it could go and im still idleing between 3-4k rpm with the choke out in the fully forward position. I havent moved any screws on the carbs while they were out and i put the choke lines back where there were in the first place. So which scews do i use and which way do i tur…

Hey guys! Thanks in advance for your help! Here is my deal: I have a 73 240Z. It won't start. If I spray starter fluid into the carbs it will run for second and then die. I no longer hear the fuel pump kick on when I turn the ignition. I also don't see any gas come in the fuel filter. That makes me assume the fuel pump has died. It's been sitting untouched for a couple months at a friends house and I need to move it as soon as possible. Now to my questions. I feel strongly the fuel pump is dead. How do I check the wiring to make sure some connections just didn't come loose. I'm not sure where the wiring harness runs back there. (I checked the fuse panel in the…

Suddently, after 27 years, he decided not tu run. Excesive fuel passes thru the exhaust pipe. Sometimes one cylinder or two runs for a few seconds and then stops. Huge clowd of fuel vapor behind the car. If it was carburated, I would tell the floater got stuck, but its an injected. Sparks are OK and the spark plugs are all wet. CuadroS
