Hello all, my names Shane i just joined this forum but was on zcar.com by the same name, and i couldent exactly get the awnsers i needed and everyone advised to come here so i did! My car is a S30 76 datsun 280z with 74k orignal miles all stock L28E Now the reason im here, when i bought the car the guy had it from 82 (im the third owner) but it had been sitting 4 years. So the day i went to buy it he told that he had it running to warm it up (the clutch was frozen so i couldent test drive it) but when i got there he explained to me that he had it running for a few mins while he was in the house and when he came back out it was shut off, he tried to start it agin but it would only idle for 2-5 seconds then die, When i got the car home i did a coupple thing to it to freshen it up and fix the clutch, changed the oil, filter, spark plugs, drained the tank and added 10 gallon of 93 + fuel injector cleaner, changed the fuel pump (he had a new one to go along with it) and changed the clutch,pressure plate, thowout bearing, slave cilinder, and master cilinder. So the problem its still doing the same thing from when i bought it (starts up and idles for 2-5 seconds then dies), i figured if it was like any other nissan (had a 89 nissan 240sx coupe with a ka24e) that if you MAF was bad you could unplug it and the car would still start and eather run like shit (rich as hell) or just idle for a few seconds and die, so i tried that and figured that the AFM was bad and ordered a remanufactured one. Well it came in the mail today and tried that but yet its still doing the same thing. Also i changed the boot from the throttle body to the AFM because there was a dry rot crack in it, and i check the intake mani and all hoses for any ail leaks thinking it might be sucking air and leaning it out causing it to die, but still found nothing.... So i plan on changing the fuel pressure regulator tomrow (the one on the fuel rail) had ordered one but never put it on. Also i have a new PCV valve for it never put it on yet eather, was wondering if that would have any thing to do with it ? (i wouldent imagine it would cause its for emissions) Does any one have any experince with these setups or has this happened to any one else ? i checked the voltage going to it and it all checks out ( dont know exactly what it should be getting but it seems about what it should be) Thank you all for looking just hoping to get it running right cause if i cant soon im just going to do a SR20DET swap into it with every thing from mckenny motorsports, As much as i would love to keep the origonal L28E if i cant get this thing figured out ill end up swaping it Oh and sorry if my spelling sucks i know it does just always has (got bashed on ZCAR.com for my spelling) UPDATE* i was messing with it a little bit last night trying to figure it out i could start it and it would do the same thing for about 5 times then it wouldent start at all but if i let it sit for 10 mins it would start then die agin But when i went out this morning to mess with it some more it wont start at all now its not even turning the motor over i had my battery charger on it on 40amp charge making the voltage to 14 and around 10 when trying to start and still wont turn the motor over ? any advice on this now ?
