78 280z cold start


Recommended Posts

i got a stock 78 280z, on a cold start the engine cranks over fast due to the 700 cca battery but the motor seems like its not getting the gas to start. fuel pump works, injectors have been cleaned, all the filters have been replaced. on a warm start the motor will fire up right away. i dont know what could be causing this, except maybe a relay switch

You might be losing fuel pressure through either a leaking check valve in the fuel pump or a leaking fuel pressure regulator (or an aftermarket regulator like Aeromotive's, which all leak down from the factory). If you have a gauge, leave it hooked up overnight or monitor it and see if your fuel pressure is dropping.
