Hello All.

I have the oppty to buy a 1985 300zx from the original owner (female 60+ year old woman) with 41K original miles on it. The body is totally straight, but it definately needs some restoration (paint, interior...) It is a 2x2, Automatic with T-Tops.

The car has been sitting for 3-4 years and not driven. I went to pick it up tonight and could not get it started. I hooked up a jump to it and it was turning over, everything inside lit up, the tank said it had half a tank, but it did not seem to be getting any fuel to the engine. Then I added some STP Fuel Injection Cleaner and a Gallon of Premium to the tank. IT started turning over much better but just wouldn't get going.

After sitting out in the sun for 3-4 years. What kind of repair do you think I would be up against (engine wise).

It seems like a rare oppty to buy a perfect car for restoration, but I just couldnt get it started. Is this something liklely to be fuel lines, injectors? How much does this type of thing run on this car (I have no idea)?

Im looking for suugestions.

 

my advice would be turn it over then check a plug to see if its wet if not could be youre fuel filter i would suggest drain youre tank put all new gas in it change fuel filter dont use fuel injecter cleaner from my experiance it only makes it run worse if plug is wet probably bad gas from sitting so long .
