Hi,
I would like to ask if anyone in the group can give some advice on fault finding, for a starting problem with my 280ZX.
Over the winter I usually start the car up and back it out of the garage every couple of weeks. About a month ago I switched the engine on (fine), off and back on again and it was really "lumpy". You could feel the car slightly rocking. Since then I have started the car up a couple of times to investigate, then it went really lumpy, erratic, stalled and now it turns over but does not start.
There is a spark, proven with the timing strobe light on each plug lead in turn.
The plugs are smelling of fuel, and the tank has fuel.
The water temp sensor measures 3kohms when cold so I assume ok.
No obvious leaks or loose connections.
Any ideas, things to try next, welcome.
I do have the fuel injection manual pdf for the 280.
Thanks
Steve
