Hello all this is my first day and first post on this amazing thread... I'm glad to be apart of the Z community now.

i recently purchased a 1982 280zx coupe 5speed the only issue with the car was it needed a new battery so I bought a new battery and it ran like a champ.
I drove it yesterday for thirty minutes and I drove it today for twenty minutes cranked right up no problems .
i went to move the car to the back of my home and when I cranked it up it didnt want to start it turns over and will keep turning over but I can't get it to just fire. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

 

Welcome to ZDriver!

It's either flooded or not getting any fuel... pull spark plugs & check.
Wet? Flooded - check AFM / CHTS
Dry? Check fuel pump / fuel pressure.

Also download the FSM: XenonZcar.com S130 Factory Service manuals

 

thank you sir I'm about to give you results shortly on that.

 

Any news?

 

I apologize for the late reply, but I looked at plugs they look really old. I just tried to clean them and I put them back in and the car started. I am buying plugs first thing in the morning I just been swamped at work, and haven't had time to go to parts store. I'll keep you updated after the install on new plugs.
