hi 300 gurus,

i have a couple of probs:

 

1. first thing in the morning i start my car no probs,but then it sits idliing at about 1500,then as soon as i put it into gear it cuts out on me,sometimes it does this a couple of time then its fine,or if i leave it for a wee while ticking over, it does not cut out,but not all the time.

 

2. it can be driven for a wee while and the engine is nice and warm,il pull up to say a set of trafic lights put it in nutral and the revs may shoot up to about 1500-1700 but this does not happen all the time.

 

3. does anyone no where my diagnostic plug is on a 1992 fairlady,as i cant find it,and its not any where on the drivers side as far as i can see?

any help with these probs will be much appreciated.

I have no idea but are you in a manual or auto???

sorry im in a auto.

Diagnostic socket should be above the driver's footwell up beside the panel that covers the fuses if I remember right (well it is in my uk car and also the earlier uk car I broke). I have Datascan on a disc somewhere but I need to find it and install it on the laptop and could maybee pop over next weekend (or if u pop over to mine, no problem either way).

 

One small point is on my auto the throttle was a bit errattic at tickover, my throttle position sensor must have a dodgy connection as when the revs are higher than they should be I wiggle the wiring about and they drop to normal for a while.

cheers for that john,dont no if this makes a diffrents but mine is a import?

its still on the drivers side on an import. However it may have been moved up behind the trim, it should be just below the bonnet release handle about2 inch by 1 inch grey rectangular connector.

Same place on all rhd z32's

Here's a pic of the connector from the wrong side of it off the car i'm breaking.

In the 2nd pic although the car's stripped it shows the area where the connector sits marked with the yellow arrow.
