    Another fuel issue.

    in S130 Series - 280ZX

    so the car has been sitting for about a week because i work retail and this week has been hell at work and i got my hatch struts in so i installed those and figured what the hell lets see if it starts and sure enough it turn right over cold start no sputtering nothing. Sounds like relays right??

    The fuel pump does not make any noise which makes me think its not running.Hence the reason why the car will not turn over.I head the injectors poping and i also her the starter and it sound like it want to start up but its doesnt have fuel. I have yet to hot wire the pump mainly because that coating on the post its giving me problems and then ill go try to see if the car starts and it does.Its so random.

    Alright well im out of ideas ive read through some of the other post about fuel issues and i dont really fall into them.So Here is my problem the other day i went out to start my car and it didnt turn over i figured it was the fuel pump.Next mourning i went to pull the pump and i figured what the hell let me give it a shot and the car started right up.few weeks later i go to start it and again no fuel pump kicking on.I had some bad gas but i dont think that did anything i drained most of it out and tried starting it again and the car turned over and then shut right off and no power again from the fuel pump and now again no pump kicking on im lost now ive check ther relay and im pretty sure its good and the fusable link is also good what am i missing here oh and my fuel light is on even tho i have half a tank of gas and when i go to turn the car over a sensor light lights ups??

    Alright well im stumped now. I got my car up and running and now all of the sudden my headlights wont work and i took her around the block the other day and i noticed two dash lights were on my ebrake and my door lights wont go out.I went around with a test light and my hanes manual and tested everything and the only thing that didnt seem to get power was the lights like everything else has power but its not getting all the way to the headlights?? Any ideas what i should look for??

    i took care of it today the hose that goes from the thermostat to the intake has a small cut in the bottom and when it got under more pressure when the engine heats up it would spray and get pulled towards the fan. Im very happy not that its up and running i do have one question i am getting a small pining sound coming from what seems to be the fuel rail possible the valve cover is that normal or do i have like a bent valve maybe its very light and i think it is comming from the fuel rail.

    alright well after messing around with the car a little more ive figured it really doesnt start to spray till the car get warmed up.But i didnt find some small drops comming pretty rapidly on the ac compressor.It looks like its comming from something under the intake but i have no idea where i feel around and every thing is rustyish and coverd in just dirt and engine grease and stuff. Im really lost now.

    Okay so some may have saw my last post with the snaped bolt i got that out of the block and went and installed a new water pump today.Everything went great got it on and went and started the car. Car started cold without problems and was idling normal and nothing was leaking, great right....So as i was letting it idle i gave it a little gas and the car rev slowly to 3000 rpm then like shot up quickly to 6 or 7000rpm wasnt sure if that was normal or not but then i let off and the car idled down normal for oh say about 2 mins.Went to give it gas again and no power :eek2:. I look on the ground and there is liquid everywhere look around with my flashlight and see water pump is clean something was spraying onto the fan which sent water everywhere. Both hoses are in great shape so its not those what else am i missing here?? Also the fuel gauge keeps reading at a quater of a tank when im pretty sure its full and the fuel light is always on:weird:. Thanks in advance i really wanna get my beast up and running haha you know.
