I'm helping a friend of mine get a 1978 280Z up and running, he bought it as a failed "project" from someone else, so he's never seen it run.
A little background:
When we started it wouldn't even turn over, I traced that to a faulty ignition relay... now it cranks but it's not getting fuel
-fuel pump turns on
-we have proper pressure in the lines
-injectors do not fire.
The injectors are new, as they were replaced by the previous owner, we could get the injectors to "click" by manually hooking them up to the battery, today I went through the harness and a copy of the FSM and verified the wiring TWICE with a multimeter so I can say without a doubt that it is correct.
So that leaves me to believe that the ECM is faulty.
As I said before it's a 1978, it's an Automatic and it's California Emissions (based on the fact that it has a working floor temp light)
I've searched around a bunch to try to figure out what the ECM differences are year to year and all I've come up with are people claiming that the 78 is wired differently than prior years, and that the California cars make use of additional pins. But I haven't found anything that sounds concrete, nor have I found what I'm really looking for, which is the proper ECM model number for this car.
I don't trust that the ECM that is currently in the car is the correct one and I'd like to know 100% what the proper ECM model number is for a 78 California Auto.
Any help identifying the ECM part number for this configuration would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
