hello people can you help me as i have a very sick 1990 z32 300zx auto

yesterday when going into a car park my car slid on black ice a hit the corner of the pasenger side only a very small bump now the car wont start

 

after the bump the revs would jump all over the place from 500 up too 1100k revs an back down an when i tried to press the throttle it would not work then 2 secs later it would do its self so i parked it up an left it for about an hour then i had to drive home

 

on the way home the car would not go above 2500k revs an would not change gears either an then the car cut out when the car was going turned the key car came back on then the car would change gear so i parked it up over night came out this morning it did turn over an the revs dropped and the car cut out and wont start again

 

please i beg can anyone help as am very stuffed with out my car thanx for any help at all

Sounds like the intercooler or atached pipes have been damaged or dislodged and you now have a big air leak, take a look behind the bumper by removing the front plastic wheel arch panel.

 

Rob

the temp sensor may have come loose after the impact, its the small yellow connector right at the front of the engine, it may just be loose, if not then andy duff is your man.

cheers for that rob if that is whats wrong with it how would i get rid of the air lock as i only know some things about the car.am waiting on my mate comin back down hes a mechanic he has seen it all ready he tried the usal things as at first he thought it was the fuel as he said it sounded like there was none going too the engine

 

the car has flooded so he says leave it a few hour an he will try again so thats why i came on here as hes a ford mechanic and does not realy know alot about 300zxs

thanx snowgt i was looking through the search on here an it says about trying that but no sucsess heres hopping that andy duff hears my cry for help lol

i'm sure he'll see it mate

i'm sure he'll see it mate

lol i hope so.am suprised he can not hear me cryin from here up in cental scotland

when the maf sensor is off or pooped it sticks to 2500 for safety, maybe have look at that. when u had that bump the maf including your induction kit or air box may have come off.

 

check see if all the sensors are on and not damaged and all hoses and pipes etc.

Yep, airflow meter is either fubar or the connector has come off

cheers guys i had a look and it looks like the plastic side has came off the intercooler realy quite badly and the top bit that holds the intercooler has snapped off as well

 

i will update tommorow and tell yous if thats what it was or not as my so callled mate came down took it off and says that he was away too get his dinner and never came back too put it back togher again

 

the moral of the storry is you cant get the friends now a days lol

Ian I am sorry to hear about your misfortunes but I have a passenger side intercooler from the car i'm breaking plus hopefully other parts if u need them. The car i'm breaking is in Glasgow and I wont be hard to deal with money wise for parts and can even meet you around Glasgow if it helps. If its easier call or text me on 07717 228963 and i'll call u back. I am working tomorrow but am off for the rest of the festive period but have access to the car anytime.

 

Cheers John

yo bud, u got the front brake calipers, wanting to upgrade breaking on my na.

 

if so mate how much an how much yo post to devon?

 

dan please pm

thanx very much john i will prob will be texting you very soon as the car still aint going an i need the passenger indecator on the bumper.an too make things worse the guy that was ment to be helping me with the car will not anwser his phone how much luck can one man have eh

 

i had one of my other mates have a look at it an we tried all the usal try an wiggle all the usal wires and clean up the spark plugs but still no joy he says that it sounds like ether a air lock or the the engine is not getting no petrol too it or the imobilllser is kicking in but the red light that flashes is going out

 

is there a air bleeding valve on the engine some where so ican try an rule that out of the big list of things it could be thanx again

after looking thru the search i found old posts saying about the ptu sensor as there is a strong smell of petrol coming from the car as well but i just thought that flooded the engine does the problems am having sound like the ptu sensor

i had a bad fuel smell as well and the car wouldnt start turned out to be the temp sensor ,have you done a fault code yet

might be worth while cleaning the tempsensor conectors you never know

Ian

 

Thats typical mate when u need a hand they are always too busy. Is your car a uk spec as thats what the car is i'm breaking and the front lights might be different. As Tommy says do a diagnostic check to see if any fault codes flash up or if you know someone with Datascan/Conzult etc get them to check it.

 

Cheers John
