Itsa78 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Ok guys so im kinda new to Z cars i have been a 240sx guy for quite some time now so please forgive my ignorance haha. Anyways my 280 has been running rich ever since i bought it and had a misfire im assuming because of it running rich. Well today i stop to get some food and i come back out and my car wont start it cranks and cranks but just wont start but if i let it sit for maybe 20 minutes or so it starts right up which makes me think its getting flooded while not running. My first guess is that it has some old injectors that are leaking. What do you guys think? are there any common problems with these that i dont know about? any help would be greatly appreciated!

datzenmike Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I hate to say this but try running a couple of cans of injector cleaner through the system. Or if possible remove the injectors and soak in cleaner. (not an efi expert) Quote Link to comment

Itsa78 Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I was cruising on the interstate for maybe 30 minutes so not really any hard driving Quote Link to comment
