Yeah, i know, it has been a while... but now i'm back. well here's the story... I was doing some drifting (wich i know is stupid anyways but that's another story), and I popped a tire. My car (78 280Z) was running when I got out to check out the tire. I shut the car off, changed the tire, and tried to start the car. It wouldn't turn over, and my fuel was pretty low, so I thought that I might be out of gas. I put about a gallon or so in, and my fuel gauge read slightly over a quarter of a tank, but my car still wouldn't start. After a little trouble shooting, I found that if I put starting fluid in the intake, it will run until i'm out of fluid, so I'm pretty sure that i'm getting spark, and my radio still works and everything, so I don't think the problem is electrical. I'm thinking that it could be a faulty fuel pump or perhaps the fuel pressure regulator? What do you guys think?

Install an inline fuel presure gauge. It is a valuable instrument to have.

Well, at least your radio still works....I would guess that your fuel pump went out possibly from having a bunch of crap injested from the aggitation in fuel tank.Do you have video?

I would most definatly replace the fuel filter and there is also a small filter on the pump. I have an extra pump if you need it for testing or would like to buy it.. just give me a call and come get it. Nice to see your still around Ross.
