Recently, I've been having trouble with my L28ET/300ZX ECCS motor.
I let it warm up tonight (it's so COLD!!!!) and then I took it for a drive. It was running great. I did some 3rd and 4th gear pulls and it was boosting and spooling better than ever.
I went to take the left turn onto my street in 2nd gear and I floored it coming out of the turn. Sure enough, it does that "I need more gas" pop thing and fizzles out. Then it goes back to normal. Now, my old 1981 ECCSPOS did that sometimes which is why I went to 1984 ECCS.
I cleaned up the ECU contacts, put in new gas, etc, etc. It otherwise runs fine.
I'm thinking that perhaps the fuel pump is the culprit, but I really don't know. I just have the stock 1976 280Z N/A fuel pump. Maybe it's finally giving out??
