KillerZombie Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) 74 260z round top SU's The car will drive normal for the first 3 min, then... I was starting from a stop and the car stalls (not me) So i start the car and floor it this time as the engine sputters me into second. Then as im switching gears the engine takes off and redlines (not on the gas anymore and clutch in) and continues to redline for 5 seconds until shutting off the engine. i pulled over checked my linkage and did a cursory look at the vacuum lines: everything checked out fine so i started it and drove home without anymore problems. this same thing has happened 2 days in a row in the same intersection driving home from work. Any ideas? Edited January 19, 2012 by KillerZombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Have you checked the carb oil? How about the return springs on the linkage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 As I said in another forum, sounds like the pedal is getting caught on your carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillerZombie Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Carb oil is fine, linkage is actuating properly. As for the peddal.. it had full movment durring all of this. Im going to dig into the carbs tonight to see if the needle is bent or gummed up on the SU's. any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB240zDET Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Time for a break down or rebuild. Or a swap like we talked about in the chat section. Either way keep us posted of what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
