Thank you soo much for your help, i will be looking into what you put tomorrow once little one at nursery, cheers, :)

I have not long purchased the car, i bought it as a fixer upper, body work wise, and when i first drove it it work, then it was stowed for 2 weeks, got it back out and not working, whats the TPS, i am not on top of all the abbreviations :)

Arrrgghh another problem has arrived now, Gearbox not "kicking down" or changing down by its self, and i dont even think its going into first when i put it in to first, as the other day i was in first on the auto box, i set off at a slowish pace then needed to merge so i give it some, and she for the first time in ages kicked down, and lept forward like she had been stung in the arse, any ideas :) thank you

You are all soo kind, thanks again for your help, hope tomorrow brings a better day for me, and the old girl :D

Hi Again, thank you for the new theories to try, i will start trying them all tomorrow, but out of frustration, and to see if she was ok, i have just been outside to her, and put key in, and she started instantly, and ticked over perfectly, so if it does come to the worse case senario, and it turns out to be the ptu, you say its on the left hand cam cover, where abouts, is it easy to spot, thank you all, your all Stars :)

Thank you for your quick replies, where can i source one from, and any idea on cost, and is it an easy job to do, cheers :)

Today i was out driving my 1990 Nissan 300zx N/A Auto, all was fine, until i turned the engine off, when i came to turn it back on again some 10 mins later, it would not start, after cranking it over for a good 5 mins, she splutterd into life, i drove down the road and she stalled, i looked at fuel gage, it was reading as empty, so i put some fuel in, and she started, i went to fuel station, turned off, put more fuel in, would not start again, i called for recovery, they came out, couldnt find why it was not starting, then after a good 20 mins of on off cranking, she fired up, not running 100% but started, and ticked over, but whilst ticking over, she sounded like she was trying to adjust her self, i then drove home, having to keep throttle pressed all the time even under breaking to stop her stalling, so, question, any ideas as to what is going on please, thank you for any help i may receive.
