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.

Replying to: mciceteade (Oct 23, 2006 5:31 pm) Does it start right up again?

Replying to: mciceteade (Oct 24, 2006 3:15 am) I think that eliminates fuel. You know, symptoms like this can be 100 things...but the more obvious problems to look for would be a huge vacuum leak.
