Daeron Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/efisystem/280zfuelinjectionbook.pdf Right click, choose "save as," and read it. Read the first section all the way through, the start over and read it a second time. If you are feeling spunky about graduating from Datsun EFI School cum laude, then read through each diagnostic check and then go back and read the entire first section a third time. Then, when you have a problem, go read the relevant portions of the first section, and perform the relevant tests according to the flow charts. Every... Single.... Problem... that your fuel-injected L28 could possibly have, is covered in there, more accurately than you could even hope for from HybridZ. Granted, wiring problems get difficult to track down.. but if you pay attention while you read, you realize that ALL testing of any components is supposed to be done at the ECU plug, and not at the component. Checking a component at the ECU plug not only checks that the component (AFM, TPS, whatever) is functioning right, but it also tests the wiring at the same time. Download it. Print it. Staple each page to the ceiling above your bed so the information trickles down into your brain by osmosis and haunts your dreams. (Stay AWAY FROM ME, EGR MONSTER!!!!!) Most of this information is also in the Factory Service Manuals, available for download here. Please be kind enough to utilize these resources to the fullest before asking questions of the general HybridZ populace; the purpose of this community is primarily performance oriented, and stock running questions get tiresome to answer over and over again. If you DO have the "newbie question" then having researched your problem (read: being able to say "I read the EFI bible but....") will GREATLY increase YOUR odds of getting a helpful answer. Go now, in Peace, to Wrench and Tune the Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom'sZ Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 STICKY STICKY STICKY..... Daeron... right on guy! Just want to add, replace every damn vacumn hose on the system, there aren't that many and vacumn leaks bugger the system. Check the boot between the AFM and the throttle body. Pull it off, spread the pleats and look in there and make sure it isn't cracked. Next, disconnect every wiring harness connector plug on the system (the wiring harness for the EFI is a separate harness from the whole rest of the car) and shoot some contact cleaner in there. Scrub gently with tooth brush and rinse with more contact cleaner. Just for the record, I enjoy troubleshooting EFI issues (when I have time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! I have been using the search to find stuff to diagnose EFI problems with my daughters Z. I do believe this will help us figure it out. THANK YOU Jes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Donovan_ Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 WOW, this is great. I bought a Haynes manual in hopes of it having a troubleshooting guide but it does not. Today I got the engine to crank but not start so I was going to search or post about fuel troubleshooting. I am glad I saw this before posting a thread to get flamed on for not searching. This will help so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan95i4 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Is there something similar to this for the L28ET EFI setup, or are both systems very similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
