Hi all,
I have 1979 280zx, and i have an ongoing issue that has both my mechanic and I stumped. I noticed the issue last year, when driving the car in the morning, evening, or during the winter, it runs like a charm. However, if i have been on the road for awhile, or i start the car on a hot day, it shuts off. Its not a normal shut off as if you switch the ignition, It sputters, sometimes i can keep it going if i keep it revved to about 2500 rpm, but if its idle and hot, then it will start to die. The fuel lite comes on, but its getting fuel, because when i give it gas, sometimes it will rev up, either times it will back fire a little. I have replace the ICU alternator, distributor cap, wires and spark plugs already, the cooling works fine, as the temp gauge shows a normal operating temp. I was thinking it could be the voltage regulator, but im not sure. Any help on what this could be? Feel free to ask more questions about the symptoms.
