Re: 280z KA Starting Problem
Thanks for the reply. The starting problem actually turned out to be a somewhat clogged fuel line - I flushed the lines and now it starts, but it'll either rev up to about 3.5k and then die or just bog for a few seconds and then cut off. My playing with the throttle seems to have little to no effect...

Re: 280z KA Starting Problem
Sometimes it'll start for a second or two if I play with the throttle while trying to start it. Does that make any difference in terms of the pick up module?
I'll see if I have a spare coil and distributor laying around either way

280z KA Starting Problem
Dropped a KA into a 280z a few years ago and haven't been able to touch it for a few years. I never got all the kinks worked out with it and it will not start. Fuel: I pulled the fuel rail and it spits fuel when trying to start. Spark: It gets spark at the wires and I put in a new set of plugs. Timi...

The reason I don't think it's anything major is because it idles and revs fine once I get it started. Fuel pump has been replaced with a walbro, filter with a z32 filter and the lines in the engine bay are all new. The mounts were fabbed. I'll post pics once she's actually up and running. :D Is ther...

280z KA Starting Problem
Dropped a KA into a '78 280z, wired it up, and now it cranks, but only starts with starter fluid. After it starts with starter fluid, it idles fine. It gets spark, but no fuel. The fuel gets to the rail, but none through the injectors (I pulled the rail and nothing comes out when cranking). I though...

I actually remembered that I tightened the idle air screw all the way in to test something before putting the car away for the winter, and I never backed it back out, so I just backed the screw back out and it was fine. It was idling at 750rpm in limp mode as opposed to the usual ~3k, so raising the...

FIXED: Car only starts with starter fluid, then runs
So I threw a KA in a 280z and I'm pretty sure everything is wired up properly. The problem is that it doesn't start up unless I use starter fluid. Sometimes it will start up by itself if I turn the motor over for like 30 seconds or so. Another problem that may be related is that once the car starts,...

Calum RT board HELP
I bought a Calum RT board and when I got it, there was no USB cable or a USB connector, so naturally I took it apart. I have a few questions regarding the pictures that will follow: 1.) What are the batteries doing? 2.) I'm assuming the 4-pin connection on the bottom is for the USB? 3.) Can anyone w...

Didn't like how close my brake lines were to my downpipe http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff490/mqs5103/2d283386.jpg So I figured I'd go with a RHD BMC, and hey, while I'm at it, why not go with the z32 brake upgrade as well? http://i1238.photobucket.com/albums/ff490/mqs5103/423f4431.jpg Z32 RHD ...
