I would start with the ignition,change the points,condenser,cap&rotor,plugs and plug wires,if it still has a prob. check to see if U have any bad fuel lines because if ther R any cracked 1s it could start sucking air insted of fuel. Also check your timing and make sure your floats are set right because it might B starving 4 fuel but I think its in the ignition,if U can afford it U might aswell replace the coil as well,because it could be going bad also.

Wait one second
I would not go out and buy anything until you can identify the problem. Being mechanically smart is great, heack a 12 year old can be mechanically smart, but it takes a smart person to identify the problem then start buyign things. First run fuel tests. run a pressure test then a flow test for the fuel lines. Sounds like a fuel delivery problem to me, but it could be ignition so then check, not buy, but check things out. If it does need replacement due to time thats different, but i hate the word buy when the problem is not yet identified.

If the tach is bouncing it is in the ignition system.
most likely the points,condensor

What about the distributor? That would make the tach jump...

O.K. look,U just got the car right? Trust me when I say this, buy the simple tune up parts, they don't cost that much, install them as per instructions,once youve done the basic tune up,you are now starting w/a new slate and knowing that sure makes things easier.Sure U can perform all the test's U want & the chances R that you'll cure the prob. w/a tune up & save a lot of time because one day you'r still going 2 have 2 do this so do it now. PS, dont wait a minute,seize the day!

Re: Wait one second
not always. at idle deffinently. Havn't you driving a z with a bad or going bad one? If you stay high on the rpms at a lower gear you can get by with a bad distributor, and the tack won't jump..

at idle it runs smooth. no trouble starting or shutting off. its only when you get up past 4k that it sputters, sometimes pretty violently

with the rpm bounce i know from experience its the points. nuff said with that subject. do yourself a favor and make this simple little conversion to a early 79 or 80 ZX distributor and eliminate that problem forever. must have a 12-80 module. its wasy and cost effective and you no longer have to deal with those horrible points systems
ive done it to mine and love it. the electronic distributor gives you a lot to notice in driveability.
