[My Car Won't start]

Just to let u guys no-the 280 is goin into the shop, i talked to the mechanic's son(who is also a datsun specialist). he is alot cooler than his dad-he told me the worst thing it could b would b bent valves due to horrible timing. I talked to him for awhile, and he said he'd b able to look at it and quote me hopefully on wednsday! not bad at all. well im out...

if i get a chance later on tday imma go wit my frend, and we'll take a look at it......by shop manual do u mean my Haynes?

 

How hard is it to re align the timing chain....time wise and skill wise?

[My Car Won't start]

I cant seem to narrow down the problem, so imma bring it to the datsun mechanic-like i said-hes an ass, mayb if im payin hes not so bad

Its gonna b a 50 dollar towin charge, and then i only got like $400 on me, so i dunno if that will b enough...........wht do u guys thing i should do?

HAVE YOU CHECKED TO SEE IF THE ENGINE IS STATICLY TIMED RIGHT. SOUNDS LIKE THE TIMING BELT/CHAIN HAS JUMPED A TOOTH OR TWO.

 

How would i check if my timing is rite, do u think i should check the compression to see if a valve is opening during compression?

The Z sounds like it wants to start, it turns over and everything-its just it doesn't feel like doin it.

What would b involved in doing the timing chain. I no of a few things that i have to do, and im really not big on bringing it to a mechanic-but if its what i hafta do then its wht i have to do........btw-the mechanic i chose is kind of an ass, but he worked at the datsun factory and speciallizes in the nissan and datsuns.........would it b worth it to do it myself, or bring it to a mechanic-plus i gotta tow it to his place neway.....

[My Car Won't start]

I recently bought an 91' Datsun 280zx 2+2 for $200, its my FIRST CAR......, i dont even have my license yet so i dont mind the work im gonna b puttin into it. But there is a small problem i need to get passed-the thing just doesn't wanna start. The last owners told me that one day they were on the highway, and they just felt a huge loss of power they got it home and it never started again. The guy replaced the coil, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and he put sum injectors he had lyin around-wich he doesn't no if they were good or not. I can tell u that its not the starter, cuz it cranks the engine over-and the guy replaced that too, its not the distributer or the spark plugs-cuz they fire perfectly. Any Help Appreciated.
