Hey guys, I just found an 82 280ZX for sale for $300. The guy claims he's been driving it for 4 years, and someone test drove it less than a week ago. It has 240K miles on it, but not the slightest sign of one oil leak in the engine bay. When I went to test drive it it wouldn't start, he seemed pretty mad because he really wants to sell it.
I'm going to go over and try to get it started soon. My question is what exactly should I check to make sure I can diagnose the problem? I know that I will forget something so if you guys could help me make a list of stuff to check that would be excellent. Right now it is spinning over just fine, and once or twice sputtered like it was going to start. But no matter how long you spin it over for, and how much (or little/none) gas you give it it just keeps spinning.
