1977 280Z Miss firing after engine is warm.
Good evening everyone,
I have acquired a 1977 280Z with L28E. I have worked out couple of electrical kinks to the point that the car will now start and idle. The first 30 seconds of it running are flawless and then you can hear as if it stops firing on cylinders 1 and 2, when both plugs removed it makes no difference to idle. When I take it for a drive it sometimes runs smooth but will lose cylinders when under load. Things I have done.
Things that help the idle and miss fire, timing advanced as far as it goes and AFM fingered to make the car run rich. I need some more suggestions, because I am running out of ideas. Thank you |
Have you tried cleaning your injectors?

Runs all nice and smooth with acceleration, then as if it hits a certain temp and it loses power and miss fires. |

I figure that one is ruled out since the car does run excellent on 6 cylinders while its cold for those 30 seconds, it does the same thing with the cold start valve unplugged.

found the problem. Fuel feed line from tank was aerating the fuel.
any one know if its worth getting this tank torn apart or just get a generic racing fuel cell tank? |
