    Car wont start when hot

    in Trouble Shooting / General Engine

    Posted

    My dad's 78 280Z starts fine cold but after driving around for a while and turning it off it wont start. It'll crank over but it wont catch for a very long time, and when it does it barely runs. It will backfire and it is on the verge of stalling at idle. After running for about 45 seconds it will run fine, the car seems to be flooding like its not getting enough oxygen. When get bought the car it was running ok but it slowy started to get worse so now it barely starts. We need to get this fixed so he can get it smogged and back on the road. Any replies and suggestions would be appreciated.

    First Z car! how did you get yours?

    My dad used to tell me about a really nice brown 280Z that he would see driving around. It had 17" chrome wheels and was lowered. I remember thinking about the car, and a couple of years later he told me he talked to the owner and it was for sale. It had been sitting in various garages for years. The guy was askin $1500 for the car w/the wheels but it had a blown headgasket, so we waited for a year to buy it and by then he was desperate to get rid of it. We got it for $600 (no chrome wheels, too heavy anyways) and he had spent at least $3500 on the suspension (coilovers ect). It was a mess when we got it, ripped up carpet, torn headliner, cracked dash w/messed up cover, the stock steering wheel had no rubber left on it, paint oxidized to a dull brown, the hood was completley faded the paint was peeling, and it was filled with sunflower seeds. Luckily it had no rust and the engine and chassis was very clean but it had a pretty good sized dent in the rear quarter panel. I remember when we got it to start before we fixed the gasket, it was a beautiful sound. Now $1500 later (life savings :-D ) the car is almost back to street worthy condition and it looks cool 8)

    your bidding on a all original 240z

    So let me get this straight. You list a car on ebay. You say it's an "all original" car. The car sells for 5.5k. Turns out it's not "all original" at all. Now your mad because this guy is telling everyone he got screwed over?

     

    To add insult to injury' date=' you suggest that he is lying about the VIN numbers not matching when you say yourself that you didn't check them?

     

    You [i']are[/i] lucky he doesn't live closer to CA :cuss:

     

    dude, the guy who started this thread is the one who bought the car

    Im going to get one on Monday, a KJW Beretta 92FS full metal from a friend. He's going to give me the case, 2 clips, and a silencer for $85. Do you guys have any experience with these and what types of gas to use (green, red, duster ect)? I plan on using it ocasinally at a friends house (huge backyard). I'll post some pics later when I get it :-D
