andy280zxt Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Ok so i have a 83 280zx turbo, and i was wondering if the crank angle sensor being wrongly adjusted or faulty would cause my car to run rich.. Also i lose all power and start studdering at around 2500rpms. I have checked many other things and noticed my CAS looks a little beat up so im wondering if this could be my problem. Thanks in advance everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S130Z Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 It is very possible. If your CAS is retarding your timing, then it will run rich. But what other sensors have you checked? Your CHTS can also cause fueling problems, and that has been a more common problem than the CAS. And you are taking about the sensor inside of the distributor, correct? How does your turbo feel? Does it spin feely? A seized turbo could choke your engine out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
