Here's The sensor I am wondering about, its to the left of the Knock sensor.Any ideas?

Hey im having some trouble coming up with a good way to mount my bost gauge were the clack used to be. Theres nothing really to mount it to. IM wondering how you guys have managed to mount yours?

the sensor would be a female needing a male connector to plug into it

SO im trying to figure out what this sensor does/plugs into. Its on the left of the detonation sensor(the circle with two bullet connectors) this one looks kinda like a reverse CHTS plug, instead of going over the sensor it would plug into it. pretty sure its not for the Injector blower fan, thought its only plugs were to the ones in line with the radiator lines.. I know this is probably a crap shoot with out pictures so ill try and get one up soon.

Okay I've been having a weird problem lately. I was going 75 then let it coast on the freeway then my car died. i turned it back on and it sputtered a little then was fine. It seems to mainly happen when i rev it hard and let off the gas. I dont have a bov or any of the idle equipment hooked up, its pretty much stock. I thought it might be vapor lock,but it'll restart relatively easily.. Any Ideas?

Well there isnt much room for the turbo afm to fit in normal. So, from a post Tony D said it didn't matter so i flipped it. Yeah i got a buddy whos swapping a turbo in a zx ill see if i can borrow it. Could the gravity of it being up side down open the flapper enough to give bad ohms readings? But i will retest it...

Yeah when i checked the chts it was in spec. So im guessing a faulty wire, from it to ecu? ?

Okay so finally got a chance to look at the electrical. I did the 81 FSM troubleshooting for the afm and tps. The AFM failed the first test, 33-26 resistance was 203 when suppose to be 280-400, and 33-31 was 153 when it should've been 0or infinite. but passed second test. then failed the third(or from the shitty harbor freight tester: never moved. I checked the flap and it moves fine. I DO HAVE THE AFM UPSIDE DOWN, thought it doesnt make a difference. The tps passed fine, might be a lil out of adjustment though. Also checked the CHTS at ecu and didnt get anything but infinity when i checked the pin... Its a new sensor. So, Anybody have any ideas on any sensors?

i think i was jumping to an explanation with the ticking i think its an injector, the #3 one it really loud. i recheck the valves after 100miles of driving and the lobes seemed fine. I dont know how to check the springs or rocker arms...

Yeah i downloaded it and have read over the pages, and ill crack out the old voltmeter

hey over the weekend i changed the intake/exhaust gasket and checked the injectors. They all sprayed fine didnt seem to stick. All of my spark plugs have equal soot on them so its gotta be a mutual failure. Ill try to check the fuel pressure later. I also replaced the CHTS awhile back.

Well, heres the deal. My 280z Turbo is having some problems... There is a ticking that has progressively gotten worse. I did a valve adjustment but its still there. Its really loud when there's a load on the engine. There's gas in the oil and its only got 160k. So should i just tear it apart and to a full rebuild? It gets around 8-10 mpg, no green light on ecu but brand new O2(is the ecu in closed loop)? Im going crazy its my dd and gas is killing me... Tempted to just throw megasquirt on it but the motor was some problems.... Any Suggestions?

Like all of you I cant get enough of my Z, but with gas so high it is killing my enjoyment since ive been daily driving it. 8-9mpg is pretty bad by any standard. So, want do you guys drive as a dd or whats a good idea for around $2k? I have been looking into 1st gen 4runners, but still not good on gas. looking for something to have fun...camping in but still get over 20 mpg. not a big fan of econoboxes Thanks

Hi I now there's a lot of z enthusiasts in oregon and im hoping someone knows of a reputable shop for Z's. I need someone to look over my z that i swapped in a l28et and its starting to act up. thinking maybe turbo leaking, and it has a high idle 1300rpms. Although i did remove the vcm,egr... any helps is always appreciated.

Yeah P.O's. always seem to mangle things. Would a different head be a better option/cheaper?
