I kept the old parts, and i do feel weird about it since i only changed parts out with out knowing why or what, but i was desperate and i need the car for work, I am worried this problem will come back to hunt me :/ I have the FSM what tools do i need to perform the loop you are talking about (I have zero electrical or mechanical experience)?

I installed the new water temperature sensor today and the problem went away, I test drove the car and everything seems right, its crazy that the water temp would cause all this.

I have a 1977 280z base coupe, It started acting up about 2 months ago, every time I would put it in first and it would start to dye on me so would give it gas and then it would rune fine, now it wont even start and when it does it sounds like its gasping for air or gas not sure. My friend has a 1977 280z 2+2 we swapped the air flow meter and my car started with no problems so i figured that was the cause, i ordered a new one and now im out 200 bucks because the problem continues the car sounds rough when it starts and the RPM stays at 700 to 400.
