Now did that yellow one go there or there?.........mmmmm?

I'm having the same problem! Engine wont give me no power after 2,500 - 3000 rpm. I have replaced plugs (NGK), replaced fuel filter, tried different Maf and Ptu to no avail. Done a diagnostic when idle and under load, code 55! It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Smells like its running rich too. Had this problem since opening her up down the duel carriageway with way to much oil in the engine. Had loads of smoke exit the exhaust. Thought the engine had blown. Did not smoke on way back up duel carriageway but would not accelerate normally... Then took for mot and passed! lol! Since then, changed oil and filter, no smoke. Wondering if any sensors been damaged by excess oil? Thought I was the only one with this problem! It's so frustrating! :taz::taz::taz::glare:

That would be great dasla300zxtt, :clap: at least that will tick off one possible cause. Can you pm me. Much appreciated. :biggrin:

:glare: Hey guys, hope you all enjoyed today, sorry, had to take a rain check today as other commitments took over! Hope to make the next one.:yes:

Hey Guys and Gals! Ok here's an update! Changed fuel filter, connected conzult which showed fault 12. MAF sensor, cleaned connections and found a bad earth. Fault now cleared . Now reading 55. The car is still dieing when I accelerate. This is getting a bit annoying now! Just wondering what to check next. Drives fine at low revs. Below 2500-3000 revs. Any advice would be appreciated... Many Thx.

Hi all, the 4th sounds good to me. If I can get me Z running right I will be there with the Mrs. Be nice to catch up after being out of the scene for nearly 5 years. A up Bantumbunny!:clap:

Hey guys, thx very much for your advice! It is all very much appreciated. I Have put £40 of fuel in since I took it for an MOT but thinking back, when I blasted it down the a dual Carriageway it did smoke alot, (white smoke) causing me to pull over, as I thought I had blown the engine this was due to the fact that there was too much oil in the engine. Since this has happened I'm not sure if I lost my power then or if I've lost power just recently just wondering if too much oil could have damaged any sensors? Since emptying oil and fitting new oil filter, no smoke at all and runs fine at lower revs. Just to add! Will rev to red line when started from cold but seems to play up when it warms up. Also tickover will settle to around 950 rpm. But starts at around 1350 rpm from cold, guessing auto choke working correctly ? Is this normal? I bought a conzult diagnostic off ebay, so will connect that up and see what results I get! anyone know where the 14 pin connector is? Once again guys your help and advice is very much appreciated thank you.

Hey guys, went with 5/30! All done and back on the road! :clap: only problem I have now it seems to die when I floor it, :blink: as if its being starved of fuel? :glare: Does this both at standstill and when moving! At low revs it's fine! Also, when the engine is cold, it will rev with no prolems at all! Any ideas would be appreciated. Many thx guys... :biggrin:

Hi guys, been crazy at work so not had time until this weekend! Checked all connectors and changed spark plugs. Seems to of done the trick! On axle stands now awaiting new oil filter and oil! Can anyone recommend the best oil for a n/a? Thanks for all your help guys! It did the trick. :)

Still waiting for free time and good weather! Watch this space!!!

Thank you very much for all your excellent advice... It is very much appreciated! Once I get some free time I will do all these checks and report back to you guys!!! :cool3::confused1: just a quick question! For security I remove both the green relays! Unfortunately I dropped them both down a flight of concrete steps but did not think anything of it! I'm now wondering if I have had rough running since this happened? Just a thought!!! Cheers guys... :smartass::taz:

Not had time this week! Mad at work! Will try this weekend! Will post once I have a tinker!!! Thx m8!

Thx Redwine300, I appreciate your advice and I will follow that through this week. Gonna change the plugs and considering an oil change! Although the oil on the dipstick looks as if it's just come out the bottle!! Very clean...

Hi all! :yes: Just took Z For M.O.T today and it passed with 2 advisories!! :clap::clap: The car has been off the road for 4.5 years so I am quite surprised!!! It is running quite rough though and I suspect one of the cylinders is not firing, although it seems to do this once its got up to full temp!! Once this starts to happen it does not want to rev very high? Any advice on what should be changed after standing for such a long time would be appreciated... Many thx... Felt great to be back in the old girl!! :biggrin::biggrin:

oh dear....not good... Think Bike!!!! :taz:

Hi guys and girls, been a long time since I posted on here....Nice to see some familiar names still!:thumbup: I`ve still got the old girl, been under cover for over a year now.:yawn: Will be waking her up next summer.....:scooter: My regular everyday car now is a Nissan Stagea RS4 AWD.... nice motor... Hope to catch up with you in the not to distant future.....:yinyang::yes:

Many thx groover... i`ll investigate at weekend!!! :innocent::angel:

Searched the whole area and cannot find anything!!!! :whistling: :hammer: There is a grey plug with 2 wires going to it though??? with nothing going into it! This comes off the same loom that goes into the coil looking canister? So im a bit confused!!! :hammer: :hammer::hang:

:taz:Thx for help!!! Sorted it today! It was the blue relay behind the fuse board to right of drivers footwell..... :) So many plugs and wire in the way though!!! Many Thx M8!!!!! :cowboy:

Hi everyone....:thumbup1: My Z has been parked up for a while now and i`m in the process of getting her ready for m.o.t.. I have noticed that the left control pod, Air con. Wipers etc will come on then go off.. but recently it will not come on at all.... Took front off and tested for power off electrical plugs, no power?:angry: Has anyone heard of this problem b4? Any help greatly appreciated!!!:clap::yes:

:chinese:Thx Very Much.... Will Have A look at weekend.....:online2long:

Hi all, it`s me, hope you all well!!!!! :chef: My ambient temp reading on the left pod is reading -86 which means my aircon is not working... I`m guessing this must be the outside temp sensor. Does anyone know where this is located. 1991 import LWB N/A... Many thx to you all...:cool3::cool3:
