A short introduction:
Hello, my name is Henk from The Netherlands. I purchased a 280z from California 1 year ago. At the time it got here we started the project of getting it road legal.
The state I bought it in:
The pictures above are at the moment I purchased the car from the import guy.
The problem of my z is that it wont run on all cylinders.
Before we started to check what could be the problem we installed new spark plug kit + spar plug wiring + distributor cap & rotor. We replaced the fuel (from 2013) and the did an oil change + oil filter change.
The correct firing order should be 1-5-3-6-2-4 as I have read on this forum. when we follow this it does'nt fire at all. The order that gave the most succes wat 6-2-4-1-5-3. but this meant that the car only ran on 3 cylinders. cylinders 2-4-5 were not running. spark plugs were black, while the others were clean. We did a compression test aswell.
Cylinders:
1 = 110
2 = 110
3 = 110
4 = 115 Note that after this increase of compression the starter motor started spinning faster. (this explains the increase in compression we thought)
5 = 120
6 = 125
When piston 1 was set to TDC the rotor from the distributor cap was at the right position. All 6 Cylinders make spark and all the 6 get fuel. (injectors are working)
Does anyone have any idea what this might be? Getting kinda stuck at this point.
Thanks!
