has anyone out there ever had the warning light between the 'handbrake on' light and 'door open' lights come on? our car started all of a sudden running rough and that light came on and off intermittantly..... any advice would be appreciated..... thanks
Would that be the light with the rectangle box with the little squiggles coming off it? If so thats ur cat overheat light, basically means unburnt fuel is entering into ur exhaust and igniting in the cats causing them to run very hot. I would check all ur PTU and coil pack connectors, most likely corroded not making proper connection and causing ur motor to miss and run rough. Hit up the tech section and have a look, Regards Trev
it would definitely be that one!!! how brilliant are you???!!!!! now that you mention it, i did smell coolant around that time!!! thanks so much, trev.....this is the first time we've posted, so not sure if you'll get this or not. i'll tell david, who just went back out to the garage to look at the car again we just bought him, he's gorgeous and wonderful, but not sure what is going on with him. david replaced the fuel filter this morning, so maybe that had something to do with it??? thanks a million!!! karen
:worthless: Haha we need to see pics now :thumbup: Coil pack connectors http://www.boostpro.net/guidesz32coil.html Regards Trev
trev, trev......we have absolutely NO idea how to post a picture!!! we're 2 old farts and we're a bit technologically challenged
locate ur top radiator hose where it joins to the motor, to the left of it under the top intake hose, bolted to the front of the cam cover will be a black plastic box with an aluminuim top part with fins , if u have a series 1 it will have connectors either side that most likley will be corroded. Do a seach of this site on how to clean them. Regards Trev
you're a walking encyclopedia!!! thanks a million, we'll do that. as soon as we figure out how to do a picture, we'll post one on our profile, maybe.....is that what people do? i noticed cute things like your fly buzzing around and someone else has a kitty cat with a machine gun!!!! thanks, trev
Just to let you know, all Zeds are girls, and they get offended if you call them a "he", that could be where the problem started?
sexist pig... mine is a tranny.. in the mornings its a boy but at night its a girl.. any1 got a problem with that?.. (dont answer that...)
no, they're not all girls. we have one back home (in the states) who is a boy and our one out here is a boy as well. we have a couple of 280zx's who are girls, but these 300zx's are definitely boys!!!!
yours is gorgeous, by the way......our first choice in color was pearl white, but we settled on our awesome black one because it was the same as the one we have back home.
