greetings! I have returned to owning a Z again. Just bought an 81 280z
Its 90% restored just a few more little things to go . The engine was rebuilt
about a year ago. my question (1 of millions to come) Whats the deal with
the fuel injectors fans that come on after you shut off the engine?
does it help or is it just a bunch of hot air?

hello msfyter,fan is supposed to help prevent fuel line vapor lock. my 76 doesn't have one and it never suffers from vapor lock but i would imagine it depends on the climate you live in.new york state doesn't get as hot as,lets say arizona or texas,ya know what i mean.

in my 82 280z, they come on after long rides, Frank has the right answer there, they prevent vapor lock in the injectors.

Ps. GRATS on the Z-hood, you will only want a Zcar for the rest of your life now....you...are....cursed.......


or should i say blessed??

My fan comes on only once or twice a year.
The days it comes on is hot hot Florida days.
