Well, I'm back again and on the verge of losing what little mind I have left.
My 83 280 z non turbo will still not start. I've replaced the distributer cap and rotor. I get good spark at the coil. I get spark at the plugs. I've got gas at the injectors. I get a pulse at the injectors. I don't know where to go from here. The plugs, after cranking, appear wet with gas. The only thing I've done to this car before it decided to quit on me, is replace the oil sending unit and the slave cinlider (sp ?) on the clutch. The starter rotates the engin and on occasion one cylender (sp ?) will fire. Timing has not been changed. I found, of all things, a tiny ball bearing in the ditributor wedged between the distributer plate and the distributor housing. That has been the only thing out of the ordinary. Please, can someone help me before I light a match and drop it on top of the engin.
