  1. Well i dont know anything about these cars i am an LStech i know all about gen 3 small blocks, i had no interest in learning the l28 system until i decided to keep in a couple months ago and put it all on hold through he snow we got.
  2. Well i have a new ecu, ignition relay, and ignition module on its way to see if it fixes it. havent gone through the entire ecu but my ignition module does look a little water damaged so i am thinking that might be the problem. Its very random. I can drive 500 miles and have it not happen once or have it happen every 30 seconds. It'll happen while dirving, around turns, straight line coasting, accelerating, braking, it'll happen after i park wont restart, it'll happen when its 90 out it'll happen when its 25 out. I've visually checked over all of the wiring and fuction all of the components best i can if this doensnt fit it then i guess i will have to do the ECU method
  3. Actually i just did that and replaced a fuew fuel lines. I blew compressed air backwards through all the tank fittings and such to make sure the passages were clear (low pressure like 30psi) and cleaned the tanke really good with gasoline. Thre was a good bit of debris in there but nothing that looked like it would be clogging, barely any rust.
  4. It's a 1978 i will check that too although the gauge has never lost pressure. It seems low but i dont really trust that gauge any way
  5. Ive been doing alot of research and from everything i have read i have narrowed it down to the transistor ignition module which i found to be water damaged when i inspected it so i have a new one on order and this should hopefully fix the problem.

  7. Tommy those links arent working for me for some reason. Iordered a new transistor ignition module as this is what is causing my random cut off and no start condition as well as a new ecu and a new ignition module to see if any of that helps. I also have a spare afm incase the one on there does work with the new ecu. Anybody know what that black part is in the distrubutor or what the clearence should be set it?
  8. Well i wasn't sure if i damaged something by removing the black magnetic sensor or whatever it is in the distributor. I know little to nothing about the distributors. It's not a points distributor and it's not an electronic one because there is no ignition module that i can find. There is a black sensor that to me is some sort of magnetic pick up sensor for the distributor cam. Anyway thanks for the help i'll try to check it out some more tomorrow.
  9. Thanks guys i ended up finding the correct part number one on ebay and one from a member here.
  10. Mine looks water damaged and from what i am reading this is causing my intermittent shut off problem so i want to buy one and see if that works. Here is a pic of what i am talking about. This is not the ECU correct? I know absolutely nothing about these cars. I had planned on just switching the L28 out and putting the 6.0L ls1 in it i had but ended up selling the motor and keeping the engine it had as it was recently rebuilt. Anyway, does anyone have one or know where i can get one?
  11. The tach has always worked fine. It's not slow to move the needle, doesnt stumble or flutter but it has completely stopped once or twice before then returns to functioning normally. Today i dropped the gas tank, cleaned it all out, replaced a few fuel lines etc in an attempt to diagnose my cutting out issue which i havent been able to duplicate. Any idea what might have caused the tach to stop working. I drove around for about 20 minutes and it just suddenly stopped. I did mess around inside of the distrubutor and and remove the black magnetic trigger or whatever it was and put it back where it seemed to be. Where exactly does the tach get its signal from? Also any ideas on my random shut off and no restart for 5 min condition?
  12. Didnt get the email for some reason Thanks it's been a while since i messed with this datsun as it was getting and ls1 swap which was delayed due to switching careers haha
  13. I think the ECU is going bad on my Z as it will randomly not start and cut out and not restart at random so i am looking for a an ecu and matching vane air flow meter. My car is a 1978 280Z 2+2 5 speed.
  14. Started it again today, started and idled fine. What would be causing this intermitant no-run condition? It has me stumped.
