It actually seems like a solid car at a decent price. I mean, it's going to have issues but it looks like a solid body and it does run apparently. I would just be sure to have a good bit of backup cash after buying it opfor anything that needs to be done.

The way I did it was first look for cracks in the lines. As you are doing that give each line a light tug where it connects to see if the hose comes off. It should have some resistance to it. Also, there are a few hoses hooked up in the front of the motor under the throttle body and thermostat. I will try to include a picture tonight, I know how hard it can be to find a good pic of these.

update on the 280zx
so i went and saw the car this morning and talked to the guy, he started it up, it idled normally, he spooled it up in the driveway but and i didnt notice any irregularities. i asked about the stalling issue and he said that the ECU might have cracked circuitry and id have to get a new one. what are the chances of this happening?

I agree, most likely electrical in nature. I have had similar problems before with different cars where I had to let it "cool down" then it ran fine. One was the starter relay on the other the fuel pump relay. When they got hot they would not make the contacts anymore, but once cooled they would work. Could see this happening with a harness connector or sensor as well....

ok, theres a red dash in the light thats unlabeled because he swapped out the speedometer. but im thinking its the airbag light bacause the steering wheel is non factory as well. so if im going to have to check the continuity for these relays wheres a good place to get a decent multimeter?
