100 Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Ok my problem. The other day my battery died. It was almost dead low on water so I filled the battery up charged it and everything is great, fired right up. I take the z to work which is all highway. I have a mile to the hwy and it's running fine reving as high as I want it to rev. Get on the hwy cruising at 60-65 reving and running fine for about 3 miles. Then all of a sudden it just dogs down. I have the peddle to the floor and it won't rev higher than around 2000rpm and my speed drops down to like 25-30 mph on the hwy . I take the next exit and after a minute I can get on it again reving it as high as I want to not loosing any power. Coming home it did the same thing. One thing I noticed was the headlight dimmed when this happened. The guy I bought it from put an electic feul pump in. Is it the pump, battery, carbs, or wiring? I am lost.

zolorin Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I would check your alternator I believe it does not provide enough power to charge the battery and was f-up so bad that it almost killed it. Or may be the contacts are very bad that you are not getting enough juice to the plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Magnum Rockwilder Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Take the alternator belt off and see if the alternator is seized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 0100 I had a similar with a 260Z years ago. Mine turned out to be a plugged fuel filter at the tank. The car ran fine until I got on it which sucked all the gunk into the filter element which would then fall back to the bottom of the filter when I shut the car down. It had an electric fuel pump as well. Might not be the problem you're having but something worth checking. Ken W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
