oldzdood Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 howdy, i've had this 280 2+2 for awhile. i've really got it running about as good as it has ever run in 25 plus years. 2 questions for all you guys that know way more than me about these rice rockets (70's term) than i do. whenever i run this dude after it sits it vapor locks if you start while still warm. if i leave the hood unlatched it seems to help. very annoying. Also, the fuel mix seems to change randomly but slowlt changes back and forth. run's best when cold. i think it needs new connectors on all electrical anything. it's very clean but i am getting pissed about the random performance of this monster. it's got new f'in everything .... help expert Z people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's start with a simple question, is the engine completely stock? Also, clear concise sentences with proper punctuation will go along way on this forum.

oldzdood Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have got one really concise, properly punctuated and complete sentence for you. One word starts with "F" and the other word starts with "Y". Thanks for your positive comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 The "y" should be lower case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domzs Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 You either have to live with it or you can install the 280ZX fuel rail/injector cooling fan . Are you running header ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
