Your Throttle Valve Switch is faulty or has water in it. This is the problem that I had.

I just bought a 78 280Z and want to steam clean the engine. I did this years ago on a
77 Z I had but got water in my throttle valve switch. A mechanic blew it out and that
solved the problem. Unfortunately, I don't remember where the trottle valve switch
is. Could you please let me know where it is and what it looks like before I clean
my engine.

the TPS is located on the opposite side of the throttle likage on the throttle body. It is rectangular and has a 2 or 3 wire connector depending on year......

The connector on my TPS has two wires going into it but a spot where it looks like a third wire should be. Is that how the two wire connectors should look? I have an 83 280zxt.

I had this same problem on a 83 280zxt. Try pinching the fuel return line. This raises the fuel pressure and will clear up the problem if it is fuel pressure related. Mine turned out to be a faulty fuel pump.

Re: TPS wires
Yes, the turbo models have the 2-wire tps. There is a spot for a third, but not used on the turbo.

Thanks! One less thing to worry about.
