Featured Replies

hello thanks for reading, I'll try to make this short and to the point.

Facts:

1976 280z

Sat since 1997...?? ( going off plates)

Pulled tank, cleaned

Blew out lines from tank to filter, filter to injectors

Replaced fuel pump relay(fuel pump wasn't working)

Traced and visually inspected entire wiring harness(pulled dash)

Outcome:

Car will not start unless I pour gas into air flow hole in top of throttle body.

Car then backfires out hole when fuel dimminished.

Spark plugs are saturated with fuel, yet car won't run without bottle feed..

When car runs it sounds like a brand new car, runs perfectly and strong, doesn't miss

Help??

Thank you

Adam

Check the connections to your water temp. sensor. I know that was the problem with my 76.
