have an 82' 280zx 2+2, the thing is, getting it started.
heres the deal;
i place key in ignition switch, turn to ON position, the 4 red lights come up
such as seat belt... and i cant remember the other ones lol. all i know is the top left and top right dont come on. *top left is "sensor"
back to the deal;
the car does the check thingy, i have a headlight issue at the moment so it tells me my lights are f**kd (all red in the check light box)
and then it says OK
i turn the key to start, and it DOES NOTHING but shows the *sensor* light on the top left each time i turn to START position. Because it doesnt start, i keep turning to ON position, then START, REPEAT and REPEAT.
until about the 50th time or close to it, maybe MORE, it finally turns over and starts. It wants to die unless i rev the engine a little bit and then stop revving the engine till it idles good on its own, but thats not the main problem.
(more info)-sometimes i try turning to the on position where i can hear the fuel pump doing its job, and humms for about 5 seconds only, then i repeat and repeat and repeat because this seems to get my car to start faster if i do this a little before trying the start position. i dont suspect a fuel pump problem though, it does fine while driving i think...although it acts like it doesnt get very good acceleration, i suspect clogged fuel injectors? maybe this would be the problem to my starting problem? i used injector cleaner though and it didnt help...
what could be causing this?! im 16, first car i worked hard for it and earned my first car.
