Welcome to ZDriver! :006:
To clarify... 1979 would be a 280ZX, the 280Z was produced from 1975-1978. A motor needs 3 things to start: -proper air -proper fuel -proper spark When it won't start, have you checked for spark? Have you checked to see if the injectors are spraying? Can you hear the fuel pump? |
the fuel pump sounds like its constantly on when u turn the key on is that normal this is my first car and i dont know much about them yet so im still learning
|
and the spark seems fine i know the battery was practically dead when it died also so idk if that was it i mean when i drive it and it gets warmed up is when it dies and i can get it started back up by popping the clutch and it goes about 15-25 feet before it dies again

check the fuel filter could be clogged
check starter might be dragging making it drain battery |
