the previous discusion about not leaving the car idling to warm up was in response to those that start their car 10 minutes before they go anywhere to "let the turbos warm up" to avoid shortening the life of the turbos the counter argument was start the car and drive carefully for 5 minutes without booting it is better for the car. when driving gently the car will warm up slightly faster than sat at idle, therefore the oil will become fluid quicker and therefore protect the engine fully slightly sooner. that said its unlikely that the occasional difference between 10 minutes at idle and 5 minutes at gentle driving will affect the life of the car to any obvious amount, much less so than booting it to red line from cold anyway

make sure you thourally dry the air filter and the maf

break fast at tiffanies 1995

5 cars drive, 1984ish?

beutiful south a song for whoever 1989 at least thats that f'kin penguin dealt with

cheers, your like some human google bot 300zx indexing service the coilpack diagram was spot on and a few pages later i found the injector diagram :) now i know what to do next, just need the rain to stop also got a couple of injector conectors on order as i broke one. no idea how your meant to get them off intact

so lots of progress, but still not working properly still not got a working cylinder one :( thanks to everyone for the advice (especially Jefftt and Jamie) now i'm after some more help before i give up and buy a 370z i've fixed the intermittent cylinders 4 and 5 by cleaning all the green gunk of all the injector plugs and sockets (except no 6 that i couldnt get too) and pushing the plug firmly into the PTU. however still no cylinder one i measured injector one and no resistance so bought a second hand one and replaced it i checked the cylinder has no water in it and the maf and air filter are dry i swapped coilpacks one and 3 and the fault stayed with cylinder one i replaced the spark plug on cylinder one. i checked the main plug is in the ecu firmly i listened to the injectors with a screwdriver and injectors 2 to 6 give a clear sharp click, injector 1 gives a mufled indistinct nock. therefore i deduce injector 1 is not firing and assuming i've not been sold a duff one( it reads 12 ohms) i think i need to start testing the wiring loom as i understand it the injecctors are fed straight from the ECU? do both wires come from the ECU? if so why two wires? does anyone have a diagram/picture of which pins of the ECU ? what sort of signal do the injectors get? (i am asuming a 12v low current pulse) would i see anything using a multimeter, or do i need an osilascope, or is there a correct tool for the job? while i'm checking the wiring loom: i believe the coil packs are fed from the PTU? why 3 wires? do all 3 come from PTU? what do the 3 wires do? what is the correct test tool here? thanks again to anyone who can shed some light / encourage me back to looking at it

time for some complete guesses: 5 shadows 12 def lepard

4 black box ride on time 1988

the imports had both a minimum and maximum speed within which the cruise control would work. cant remember off hand what it is but think it may be something like 45 and 70 most imports get a speedo converter chip rather than a set of UK clocks and the converter "fools" the ecu alowing the cruise to set at higher speeds so first try it at 60mph to be sure next look at the clutch and brake pedals, both of them have one or two switches (model dependant) when you are not pressing the pedal the switch should be depressed. if either the brake or clutch cruise control switch are released then cruise will not engage

for 4 i keep thinking nena cherry (the singer not the porn star)

10 looks like lisa stansfield, so i'll guess all around the world '89

7 eurithmics sweet dreams 1984ish 8 meat loaf?

cheers, but its a bit far, i guess about 2 hour drive, on only 4 cylinders

i could pop round, not sure why but fixing other peoples cars seems more interesting than fixing my own which is what i had planned
