Guest SupraG Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi everyone. I was just driving to work, and I felt a sudden powerloss in my bone stock (engine wise) 260z. I just bought this car last week and the stock 2.6 liter was rebuild 3500 miles ago. I am puzzled why I experienced a sudden powerloss and was wondering if any of you have experienced the same thing. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juarez88 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 im having a similar problem, car is smooth then would just lose power. then i would try to start it up but it would turn on then have trouble idling at times. im hoping its a fuel pump problem and not engine. well i would like to know what people have to say about this.

Cal Poly Zmanaustin Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hi everyone. I was just driving to work, and I felt a sudden powerloss in my bone stock (engine wise) 260z. I just bought this car last week and the stock 2.6 liter was rebuild 3500 miles ago. I am puzzled why I experienced a sudden powerloss and was wondering if any of you have experienced the same thing. Thanks. I would check the basics first fuel filter, pump flow, spark plugs, ignition wires (especially the one from the coil to distributor) and all grounds. Bone stock 260Z? Does that mean it has the stock Hitachi carbs? If it has the stock carbs instead of the SU's (or another upgrade) then that is one concern. I've heard of powerloss with a distributor not putting out enough current if the bushings are worn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Sounds kinda silly, but check your crankshaft pulley bolt as well and make sure it is tight. I had a similar problem with my carbed L28 and it was the crankshaft bolt backing out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juarez88 Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 my problem was solved when i checked the cables connected to the distributer and spark plugs. a coupe that connect to the ignition coil and distributer were slightly popped out, and i just plugged them in, also my air filter was outrageously old and dirty. i replaced it with a k&n filter and so far its runnnig really well and accelerates fine. thanks for the tips, i was way off thinknig it was a fuel problem.
