  1. Its is finally fixed. The relay was shorting out. Replaced it and suddenly no problems
  2. I couldnt find a 40 amp fusible link so I improvised. i got a fuse holder with a 12 gauge lead and some 40 amp fuses. I just ordered the maxi fuse setup to replace it all. Looks like my AFM has bent connections to be always on (believe its the full throttle connection) But I cleaned it all and now the draw on my link isnt there and Im not blowing fuses. So i think THINK i have it fixed
  3. Sorry for discrepency let me sum it up. The motor runs amazingly when you can get it started. It drives great( referring to the feel of the car going down the road) Bogs down from 2k-2300 rpm when driving but only occasionally It will run and drive fine until it bogs down then it tries to die(fixed by feathering the throttle) I used 10 gauge wire to make a new fusible link. the old one had been slightly cut at the top where it bends and arced over. Fuel pump runs when it shouldnt The fusible link that burned was the short green one. I used wire with a 60 amp melting point to replace it. It is the ignition switch fusible link i think factory it had a 40 amp melting point
  4. I will check the pressure though just in case
  5. The fpr wouldnt cause the fuel pump to run when it isnt suppose to. It should only run if the motor is cranked or running not with th ekey just in the on position. It has to be something elctrical not mechanical. After reading the basic theory and layout of the fuel system it almost seems like the afm has to be at fault.
  6. yes the car will run and drive but for a short time. then bogs down at around 2k and wants to die
  7. Would unplugging the afm with the key in the on position cause it to stop pumping if that was the problem?
  8. I made a new fusible link. The guy said the afm may have an issue so maybe he did know what he was talking about. Ill check it out. Is it possible for it to be stuck open?
  9. Ok, I just purchased a 1978 280z. Its runs amazingly but does have a slight issue. The fuel pump seems to be running at full cycle whenever the key is in the on position. It is flooding out the engine and makes it difficult to start. I also feel that it is important to mention that one of the fusible links was burnt in half. Im not really sure where to even begin. Im wondering if its something in the ignition electric system but im not sure where to start.
  10. Figured out the issue the guy i had looking under the hood while I revved was mentally retardd apparently and didnt realize that one of my main vacuums was loose
  11. I have to hold the choke lever back for it to run semi properly
  12. The choke for the car i cant do a pic cause im at work
  13. Hey guys so iwas driving my 260z with an l26 carbed motor and when i stopped the engine made a strange noise (sounded like a blow off valve) and now it is idleing very rough. And wont stay on without holding the choke open. I dont know if maybe a vacuum line could have popped off or what because they all seem to be intact. I also have a strong gasoline smell to my oil. Im not sure what is causing these issues. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
