SteveZ Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Ok weird problem, Installed new springs and shocks on my early 74 260Z this weekend dropped the car down and it started right up ran fine for about 2 min then stalled out (sounded to me like it ran out of gas)and since then havent been able to get it to turn over. Sounds like it wants to start; Im definitly getting proper spark so my assumption would be fuel but not quite sure where to start as this is my first S30 and my first Carbd car and I have never had a problem at all getting the car to turn over so I dont know what I possibly could have done while doing the suspension mods to effect the fuel delivery. Any help would be appreciated thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Put fuel in it, even if the gauge doesn't say it's empty. I'd also get a new fuel filter ($4) and replace that. Take a look in the old one and make sure it's not full of rust. Post back once you try those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveZ Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 I threw 5 gal in it to be sure I wasnt empty and I have a clear fuel filter and all looks well there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zjoel Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Its a long shot, but check to make sure that you did not pinch the fuel line with the jack when you were lowering or lifting the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Pull the fuel line at the filter, aim it into a can and have a friend turn it over and make sure you have fuel flow. The pinched fuel line theory is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveZ Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Yes I am an Idiot..... Pinched fuel line, must of pinched it when I was messing around with the rear subframe. Problem solved runs like a champ again. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
