foremalaZ Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 hey guys. i have an 83zx non turbo and the other day i got rid of cruise control and removed the coil so i could sandblast the bracket. when i put the coil back together the car would barely run. it just smokes really bad and the car sputters up to 2000 rpms were it cuts off. also the coil is getting really hot. is this something to do with electrical or is it something to do with air flow or fuel. thanks for any help. foremalaZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageskaterkid Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 did u put the right coil on, or did u put it on right? I had a firebird coil in my car at one point, and it would get REALLY hot, and wouldn't run below 2000 RPMs once it heated up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfairladyz Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Make sure you have the coil wired up correctly. i.e. positive wire to positive post on coil etc... On the 280zx, the black wire is not the negative, so make sure this is correct. A reversed coil can cut the coils output in half! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONGO510 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Check to make sure you didn't leave a vacuum line off. A vacuum leak will cause the fuel pressure to go high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
