So I noticed a post on Zcar.com asking about finding a shop in the Atlanta area. The owner bought a non-running 280Z, and the previous owner said the car ran fine and suddenly died one day. The PO fired the parts cannon and replaced the fuel pump to no avail. Isn't it funny how the parts cannon doesn't hit the target very often? 

Fortunately for this 280Z, the new owner is willing to listen to diagnostics and test. First was to see if the car would fire. Yes, it ran on starting fluid. Next establish that the fuel pump runs. Yes, it has fuel pressure, but it's a little low. Constricting the return will build the pressure though.  After that check the injectors. Negative on the noid light. 

At this point I wanted him to check for voltage at the injectors, but he started moving through the fuel injection Bible. Okay, he found some issues, but not the one that was keeping the car from starting. I pushed him again to check the EFI fusible link, and he texted me about finding a loose wire near the battery positive. He reconnected the fusible link and a couple of minutes later he sent me a text of a running L28.

This year is off to a good start for me. I hope there is a lot of that to go around this year. 

Awesome way to start the new year Steve.
