I have a '81 280ZX that runs pretty good until yesterday that is. She runs but on a 100 mile trip she drank just over 6 gallons of gas...WTH could be the cause here? Any help would be appreciated.

Check your air gap between the stator and reluctor. Had the same problem and this was what was wrong with mine.

I have completely rebuilt my 280z- drivetrain engine and all. I have put 2200 trouble free miles without any hiccups and today it starting acting up. Stock electronics with a fresh rebuild l28. Driving up a slight hill today after running at 85mph for 2hrs and all of the sudden it was like the key was turned off. I coasted over to the side and hit the starter and it fired right up and ran through the gears fine. It ran for about the next half mile and just quit again. Cranked for one attempt and tried a second crank and started right up again. It did it about 3-4 more times in the next mile or two till my destination. Its not sputtering but with the first crank it will start then die when i hit the gas. Start it again and it will run normal. Everything looks fine and hooked up. The tsp is not wet or shorting out. I am sure if I sort through the millions of posts of engine dying I might find something but I am a bit tired, not in front of a computer and heading to the z meet in LA sat so I dont have much time. I dont think I missed anything. Look forward to the suggestions.

Was getting 27-29 mpg then all of a sudden a drastic change. Ordered an O2 sensor and will see. Check the timeing and have it set at 10 BTDC. Plugs look fine. Most everything that comes to mind is newly replaced parts in the last year.
