Big problem...
I have a 84' Nissan 300ZX NA.
Everyday I go to the university or some other far place, I start the engine and I let it warm up for 1-2 mins. Engine runs perfectly like new(its a VG30E rebuilt). Car runs good and have excellent horsepower. But after 5-7 minutes, I accelerate the car and it seems it starts to fail/backfiring a lot. It gives me the problem only when I accelerate.
The weird thing is that I turn off the engine and I start it again, and runs perfectly again but after 5-7 minutes, same problem.
I ran the codes and gave me only 3 1 >> A/C. I checked the cylinder head temperature sensor, the O2 sensor, fuel temp sensor(pressure its good too), I tried with another MAF and another ECU, I changed spark plugs, cables, distributor cap and the rotor, and I still have this problem.
When the car fails, it feels like a injector its not firing well or a spark plug doesnt working well or MAF sensor its bad. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
I look foward to your replies

I have the exact same problem, but if i warm it up just right, it runs fine. If i don't warm it up, it will bog the same exact way as yours. I havent figured out how to fix it yet, but im guessing that it might be the cold start valve/sensor (not completely sure if it even has one or the other). I will let you know if i fix it. If you figure it out, let me know too.
