Well, I found the problem!. The fuel pump was on its last legs and also the AMF sensor was faulty. Changed both, turned the key and all is well. I was really at a loss but thanks to some good help and advice from the forum and also the guys at ZTech I will be using my car over the bank holiday. Thanks all and a big thank you to Ryan at ZTech for supplying the parts I required. Kind Regards Simon

Hi Vijay Checked all the connectors, changed the spark plugs and checked the coil packs. The car is wanting to go but it just seems like not enough fuel is getting through. I should get the new pump tomorrow so I hope this will cure it. However knowing my luck, I doubt it!!

Hi All I put some fresh fuel in the car over the weekend and bypassed the fuel pressure control unit, but it still has the same problem. I can only assume that the fuel pump has failed. I will install a new one this week and also replace the fuel regulator. Hopefully this will cure the problem and I will let you know how I get on. Regards Simon

Many thanks for the pictures Vijay. The time has certainly flew by since they were taken. My car was looking somewhat better cared for back then. Has your ZX been much trouble since then?. I must say that mine has not really had any real problems up till now. If I can get it sorted I need to install the ACT clutch and flywheel I have had waiting on a shelf for over two years!!. The centreforce one I had did not last long. Thank for the info whitelightning. Over this weekend I will go through what has been suggested so far and hopefully will get a result. Regards SImon

My e-mail address is simon@extrudawood.com Cheers Vijay, I look forward to getting the pictures.

I will check all of the things suggested so far and go through the connectors. I hope it is something simple like a bad connection. Thanks all once again for the replies to my question. After doing a thorough search of the club site it seems many people had a similar problem that was cured by either cleaning or replacing the PTU. I suppose the problem with my car is that it is getting old now and things are becoming somewhat tired. I would love to see the pics you took of my car Vijay if you do still have them. If you get a chance M8 and they are on your computer please do E-Mail them over to me. That really was a few years ago now!!

Thanks for the quick response guys. I will clean the connectors and check the fuel pump this evening. Vijay, we have not spoken for a long time M8. Hope the you and the family are all well and I am pleased to see you still have that white zed. I still think you made a wise move with the rear arches on you Zed!!. Sorry I have not stayed in touch but I don't get a chance to use the computer as much these days. I have been through quite a few vehicles since we last met, but always kept my Zed! Regards Simon

Hi All My 300zx TT has a problem and I would be most grateful for any advice. About four months ago the car was showing signs of hesitating when the accelerator was pressed. Not long after it simply died and would not run, it would start and then cut out again. The car has not been used since as I have been so busy at work but I now need to sort it out. Any tips on what I should look at would be great. I did install a newer model PTU some years back so I don't think it could be that. Please help, the car looks very sad just sat there collecting dust! I have not posted on the forum for some time and did join back in 2001 under the user name Simon H. It's nice to see that the 300zx forum is still going strong with lots of members. I have owned my 300zx since 1998 and in all that time this is the first real problem that has stopped me using the car. Great shame as I still find it a really fun vehicle to use. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards Simon

Many thanks for the reply. I have pulled all of those out and can not see that any of them have blown. I did see a tech page from an owner on the internet who described the same symptoms and identified a 10amp fuse under the bonnet. Problem is my uk spec car does not have any fuses where this owners did. It was labeled THEFT ROOM L on his facia panel but it is not there on mine. The site was http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/107976.html if that helps. Thanks again Simon

Hi all I own a 300zx TT (uk spec) and I seem to have developed a rather weird electrical problem. For some reason my stereo, interior lights and lights left on warning bell do not work. I assume this must be one of the fuses, could anyone tell me if they have had this problem and where I should be looking. I never realised how much I miss my CD player until now. Any help you could give me would be most apreciated. Regards Simon
