Sorry about the typing my phone is hard to type on. The car is a 1990 n/a 5 speed

Okay so long story short. I looked in my floorboard and smoke was coming out of it while driving. It was the ecu. Disconnected the battery took out the ecu put it back in. It ran but it would not idle and the brake light and lights light stay on. I put a brand new ecu in the car checked all the grounds and replaced all,the battery cables. Lights are still on the dash plus now it shuts of going down the road and is getting worse. Wwhen I unplug the MAF the car shuts off? I have googles for days and cant find out what to do. Can someone please help

Okay so today I smelled something looked in the floor board and there was smoke coming up. I pulled everything out and got to the ECU. It was smoking. I unhooked the battery and then the ecu let it cool and plugged it back in. Well, the car is running fine. I think maybe I had a loose harness cause I just changed the ECU. Now the lights are in the dash, to be exact its the seatbelt litht, e brake light, they wont go off. I think there might be one more on not sure. I just changed the alternator so I know its not that. Anyway, could the ECU have fried? If it did how is the car running good? I am lost thanks for any help 1990 Z32 VG30E , Manuel Coupe

I purcahsed an HID kit off of ebay for my fog lights. It was supposed to be plug and play just like the low and high beams.. not so.. Got the bulbs installed but the ballasts connector is different than the cars harness. I am going to hard wire them into the factory harness. Is there any danger in this? Also I am assuming that the black is ground and the green is power on the factory fog lights? Thank you for any help you can offer.. P.S. I searched all over the internet before asking this question and could not find anyone that has run into this.

Someone help please...

Okay so I have a 1990 z32 N/A. I installed a set of Z1 headers on the car last week. When I picked it up from the shop I noticed a slight hesitation under acceleration . Everything else is fine just under power does it do this. I have researched everywhere online and find so much that could be the problem. Could the shop have messed something up? Vaccum line? O2 sensor damaged? I noticed that they removed the brake master cylender during the job and unplugged many vac lines. I have checked all of them and they seem fine. Could running the headers cause the car to run this way? Any help you may offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill

That must be it then cause when I set it on 90 its still ice cold. How do i resolve this issue?

I have checked all the lines even all the ones behind the dash. That is why I was wondering about the Climate Sensor in The T Bar?? Thanks!!

I have a 1990 300zx . The heat will not blow hot all get it cold air. I have flushed the cooling system and the heater core is not blocked or leaking i can feel heat under the dash. I checked the climate control fan in the roof and someone had stuck a piece of paper in it to stop it from spinning. I removed the paper but i think the fan is burned out it will not turn anymore. Will this prevent the heat from coming on? ? ? Thanks for any help its cold !!!!

Thanks for the reply. Well I am pretty sure that my alternator was the culprit because on the way home my lights are going dim and my radio flickering on and off. The battery is dead completely now. As for the oil pressure I think that the sending unit is going bad because one minute its on 60 pounds then the next on almost 0 and I know I have pressure my car runs to good. Can you get an alternator higher that 80amps for the car? I think my stereo is eating the alternator!!

Also just noticed that my oil pressure just went really low does not jump up after accelaration. Changed the oil yesterday 10/30 Mobil and K&N filter. I did not have any oil pressure but when I got under the car i found the sending unit was unplugged. The wire running to it was raw in a place like it was spliced into at one point? Could my sending unit cause all my dash lights to stay on? It runs fine no knocking or ticking or anything..Please help

Okay all my dash lights are on and wont go off? It just started today? Car runs fine but all the lights are on. I tried moving around the key because that it what the dealership told me to do that did not work at all. Let me know .. Thanks, Bill

So whats the Price?? Thanks

Okay so I winterized my project z31 full of antifreeze. Well It warms up the other day so I crank it pull it out of the shop pop the hood check the fluid levels and the coolant is low. I add ----it keeps taking..So I look up under the car right by or below the turbo cant tell, it is pouring water I mean faster than I am putting it in. So I am not a mechanic I don't really know If the block is cracked or a freeze plug? It seems like to me that if it was cracked it would not be coming out that fast. Any ideas...thanks so much..

Okay so i bought this 86 z31 not knowing alot about looking under the car! I have gone ahead and done about 3k worth of restoration to it. Just to discover that the drivers side {where the frame bushing connects} is rusted out. It is rusted out up under the seat a hold about 13" around. It has not rusted all the way, and the rear end is still attached very well but my mechanic told me that it was unsafe to drive as the rear end could break loose?? What can I do I cant give up on the car now.. PLEASE HELP

Okay I have looked everywhere for the kind of air dam i am talking about. other than going to a Jap website that I cant understand I cant find one. Id there anyone in America that makes a wide body front air dam similar to the z32?? I have already looked a MSA and every other one I can find...???? Any IDEAS?>>?????????

That was not the problem, any more ideas???

I need a 300zx center console out of and 86 car that is black? Please email me if you have one in good shape. My email is dthorne1984@gmail.com. My phone number is 478-289-1163

Okay so my 300zx got to where it would start sometimes and then it would not others. I could not hear the fuel pump coming on when it would not start. I checked the ECU and it was burned. I got another ECU and put it in. The car started great for 2 days. I parked it washed it and then it would not start again. No fuel pump Prime. I have read everything on the web and cant find anyone with this problem. If the fuel pump was bad would it be intermittent? Also the car is running rough when it will start and will die at idle.. I have replaced the MAF, Fuel Pressure Regulator,Plugs, Wires, CHTS, I am getting a code 41 fuel temp sensor? When it wont start my fuel filter is empty. Could this still be an ECU issue??? Or just a bad Fuel Pump. Also before when it was running last there was a noise coming from right under the center console, sounded like a knocking. I think it was a exhaust problem though but I am not sure. Could not noise be related? Thanks for any help you might have.
