Z is dead

So I leave my house then about 2mins later I hear a funny ticking noise from my car so I pull over and turn her off. Try to turn her back on but she's goneskies.. so regretting buying this car, constantly pumping money into it just to keep it running On the bright side the title of this thread rhymes which is pretty cooooooool!

 

ptu failure???? got a s1 by any chance

 

It's a line

Out of the movie Pulp Fiction, "zeds dead baby"
Sorry to hear about your car.

 

I dunno.. anti lock light came up if that helps?

 

do you have a s1 ptu?

 

off topic but in ralph this month they did a little review on the 370z.

had a pub brag section. line was "zeds not dead, baby"

 

I have no idea.. How do I find out?

 

pop the bonnet and look on the drivers side cam belt cover for a grey square thing that looks like a heat sink and a big plug coming out of it.. if its there thats a s1..

 

How loud was the tick sound mate? And did she crank at all when you tried to restart it or just nothing...

 

Here you go mate, that's a series 1 ptu:


-Kirill

 

Just nothing..

 

Bit drunk atm.. I'll have a look tomorrow

 

Well if it doesn't even crank it's not your PTU. Look towards battery connection, battery or alternator for you culprits.

 

Was the "tick" becoming louder as you went along ,and could you feel it through the car? and did it turn off quicker than usual ?

 

Hit the nail on the head mate! Belt was loose and wasnt charging the battery properly..

 

good news mate , zeds not dead then .just needed a little maintenance




.

 

i got the same issue right now.

Seems my car battery goes flat for no reason. got my battery tested and its all good, but its the alternator on its way out. I am getting the antilock light too and i lose power steering but if i jump start the car it works and when i rev a bit antilocks goes away and power steering works fine too.
