Criderh Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Starter is turning slow (like a half note between cycles) with plugs out, I cleaned/wire brushed terminals, and starter connections. Sometimes it will just click until it changes its mood while charging. New battery, and charger on 10 amp while I fiddle. This manual 1982 280zxt sat for 8 yrs under lean to on a trailer. I am trying to get in running in donor car before I put in my '73 240z. Ive spent the last 6 yrs restoring. I pulled tank, cleaned it. Replaced fuel pump with aft mkt one. Flushed fuel lines up to the injector rail. Changed oil and antifreeze. (oil looked good considering, and antifreeze was decent) Am I missing a fuse? Is there notoriously baf ground wire? Ahhhhh! Im so close I can hardly stand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domzs Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 You can bench test the starter . I would try to tap on the starter with hammer first ( tap while cranking ) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Criderh Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 I replaced starter, corrosion had set it. Its turning over smoothly (and much faster) now. I will flush the injectors and put the plugs in and maybe start it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domzs Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm glad . Good luck . PS don't forget the fuel filter and flushing the fuel lines . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
