Guest jjohart Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 My distributor has a bullet connector wire coming out from the front underside (facing closest toward the radiator)..my mechanic says it must be a secondary ground wire, as it was never connected/there's no other end with a connector to fit up to it, apparently for as long as I've owned it, this 83 280ZXT. Just wondering if this might solve my cold/restart stumbling, stated in general queries. Thanks-a diagram of the bottom of the distributor/all bullet connections would be extra helpful!

datsunlover Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Are you sure it's coming out of the dizzy? Sounds to me like one of the (posibly up to 4 i think) conectors that comes out of the thermostat housing. Even my '75 has THREE sensors/conections there.. One is the sender for the temp guage, one is a 'thermotime' switch and Im not sure what the others are. Sometimes these get so corroded, they just break off flush and look as though there wasn't anything there.. If you're having a cold start/stumble issue, that may be something to look into.. I'm pretty sure the 'thermotime switch' has something to do with telling the ecu when the car is up to temp, and changing fuel/ignition timing and such..
