Replying to: zgirl (Jul 08, 2006 10:26 am) There may be a procedure for filling the radiator to prevent air pockets in the coolant. Some cars are pretty touchy about this.   As for the radiator, often they must be taken out and cleaned chemically or replaced. I think a radiator shop could flow test it and then you have a definitive answer.   Generally speaking, if you overheat while at idle, it's an air circulation problem and if you overheat as you drive, it's a water circulation problem.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 08, 2006 10:29 am) Got it. I'll make an appointment at a radiator place. As for an idle, it can sit for an hour with the air on, & it doesn't move. Get on the highway & it's touchy. Like I said, I just cruised down the country roads doing 80 with the air on & it's perfect. One thing I question is that it is hot today, 87, as it was yesterday, but it's not humid today.... my old 97 Nissan Pulsar was touchy on damp & humid days... just weird stuff. That one went bye-bye last year with 240,000 miles still running strong, but the suspension had many hairline cracks, it was time to take it off the highway! Thanks for your help. I'll check back in next week after I get a REAL flush!! Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jul 08, 2006 3:15 pm)

Replying to: jenny6 (Apr 13, 2006 7:02 pm) I am having a similar problem, and was curious if you found the problem. So far the alternator has been replaced, the fuel system checks out the injector signal checks out, replaced the air flow meter, no change, the car runs for about 15 minutes and then dies and refuses to restart.

Replying to: sidekickdenver (Jul 20, 2006 5:35 am) Well have u checked ur computer to see if it is giving out any codes ? I know that mine insnt and that is the prob. I think it might be electrical or at least for u it sounds like it one think to check is the fuel pressure regulator that controlls weather it can run after long periods of time and temps and sutch but also when my car first ran like that it was the comp was in dionostic mode so that made it so that it didnt want to run at all so check that plus like i said see if it is giving out any codes from the comp !

Replying to: tr_1890 (Oct 18, 2006 10:55 pm) Gee, given the value of these cars (not a whole lot right now), you'd be much better off just buying a clean 300zx TT right from the get-go. What with computer controls and suspension/brake modifications and who knows what kind of fitment problems, it doesn't seem worth it to me. I don't mean to be discouraging and go for it if you have the time and $$, but it seems so much easier to just go buy the car you want. it would be cheaper, too I bet in the long run.
