Well guys this is my first time on this web site and you guessed it, I have a problem that I am hoping I can get some help.
Well here it goes....
I bought a 1981 280zx fuel injected car, it's body is in really good shape and the interior is also in great shape. I am hoping the motor is too, but am pretty sure it is. That is, I bought it off a friend of a friend who had it for 10 years. Anyways, I got a real deal, I only payed $1000.00 for it - okay I know I got a steal!
Anyways back to my problem... which is guys, the car starts up with the first turn of the key, runs for about 3 seconds and shuts off. It has no response to the gas peddle . The car has got spark obviously , the car is getting it's fuel,at least for a couple of seconds. I have put a new coil on the car . The car does not have an exteior ballas. The car has an electronic ignition . I have racked my brain trying to figure this one out and have run into a wall. So what I had to do was to bring it to a mechanic and he is not having much luck either. I don't think he has spent alot of time on it yet ,he has only had it for a day or so and is working on it in between other cars. He has told me that the fuel injectors have got continuity and the fuel line keeps it pressure ,I don't think this guy will let it beat him, but if anyone can think of anything that I'm over looking or have any suggestions , I would really appreciate it.
