colerongo Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 ok, i'm not quite sure where to start. i have been working on my l28et 240z swap for the past couple months. i have had it running but not driving for about a month. as of this morning it no longer runs. when i start the car it takes a while and then idles really rough until i unplug spark plug wires 1 and 6 and hold them about a quarter inch from the spark plugs allowing them to arc. when i do this the idle picks back up to where it should be. but when i plug them back onto the spark plugs the idle drops and it seems as if those two cylinders aren't firing. is it my coil? is it my 8mm taylor wires? spark plugs? thanks in advance for your help.

Guest HER280ZXT Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I experienced the same thing on my 82 ZXT. It is completely stock. I replaced the distributor cap and rotor button and cleared up the unusual problem. Don't know why but it did. Since then however #6 is intermittant. Fires sometime and sometime not. Makes me wonder if the dizzy cam and rotor button was the problem. Good Luck 82 280ZXT 2+2 Turbo 04 350Z touring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
