I'm going to be geting a 77 280z does not run. The owner says that it ran 6 months ago, it would idle high and would not come down to idle. so he parked it and it will not start now, he thinks the coil went bad. does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

 

Welcome to ZDriver!

A motor needs 3 basic things to run:

#1... spark.
#2... proper fuel delivery (too much or too little will keep the motor from starting).
#3... air flow.

 

Thanks man I thougt it mit be a comin problem.

 

Are you from Australia?

 

No, washington. ohh I miss spelled that. lol.

 

what part of washington?

 

Outside of olympia in shelton.

 

Move to Renton. That's where all the cool Z guys are

 

The z has been siting for a few years, could the fule lines be clogged?

 

Not the lines, but the filter and/or injectors could be. You always want to change out the fuel on a car than has been sitting for a long time. Starting it w/ old fuel can cause a lot of headaches.
