CruiZZZin 78 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 My 78 280z is dropping #1 cylinder and sometimes #2 cylinder due to the lack of signal to their injectors. I have rebuilt injectors and brand new connectors. What could be causing this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.INSANE Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Bad Ground, Bad Wiring Since its just #1 and #2 I suspect bad wiring or connection I would test it with an ohm meter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiZZZin 78 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Thanks for the reply, Which connections should I check for this problem? injector connectors? ecu connections? I'm not sure. I really appreciate the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom'sZ Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Look at the injector harness, it is a separate harness from the rest of the car. Trace it along and find the grounds. I think there is one attached to a bracket on the intake manifold and one attached to the firewall. Disconnect the grounds and clean the terminal with a wire brush or emory paper and do the same on the spot it attaches to. It's odd that only #1 and 2 do it. How did you replace your connector? Maybe double check your splice job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiZZZin 78 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 thanks for the help guys. I did ALOT of work on it tonight and found that I wasn't getting battery voltage at the ecu connector for #1 injector. So after a ton of testing on the ENTIRE system I found that my large dropping resistor was bad. Hopefully this is the last of my electrical worries. The car is still missing but I have all my cylinders now! thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
