280zx '82 starts but won't run
My 280zx will start up fine, but it won't run unless you keep cranking it. Fuel pump pressure is OK. Once you get it running it pretty much runs OK. If I park it on an incline it dies though.

Welcome to ZDriver! Check all the basics:

Timing
AFM, CHTS, and ECU connections
Cold start valve
Air regulator
Vacuum leaks (such as loose hoses)
-Buy a Haynes manual if you haven't yet.
