Where is the fuel pump on my 1983 datsun 280zx turbo?

I have a problem with it like almost bogging out. so to try and fix this problem i did the easiest and cheapest possibility to fixing it witch was changing out the entire ignition system. that helped a little but slowly went back to how it was b4. i checked the spark plugs and they had turned black like the last spark plugs were. im thinking im having fuel pump problems because it died the other day at idle and also seemed to sound like it was flooded so i had to wait for a while and it started again so it was flooded. where is my fuel pump located on my 1983 datsun 280zx turbo??? thanks!!

It uses an electric pump inside the gas tank.

im not sure though, but try to check your compression rate. there might be a leak in your cylinder or valves that makes a bad air-gas mix. it's a long shot but it's worth a try.

SOURCE: #1 Spark plug is no burning fuel.

Either your timing chain has jumped a cog, or a valve is stuck or burnt. Best way to check the timing is with a timing light. If the mark jumps all over the place, your chain is no good. To check the valve, do a compression test. Good luck. Let me know how you make out.

Could be the distributor. Bearings are notorious for failing which affects the cam position sensor in the unit. Did you have any codes thrown to the display ?

280zx turbo dies after it warms up

It is most likely you ignition control module, thats what is was with mine. It is located on the ignition coil not the distributor as in some zcar models. I bought mine for about 160 bucks, but before you go out and purchase one i would try cleaning the connection if it is corroded. If it is not corroded then you really cannot clean it and need a new one.

I have a Datsun/Nissan 280ZX non-turbo (Not a 210)

Have the thermostat tested first. You can do that by observing if the fan turns on when the fan exceeds your normal running temperature. You may want to check the radiator cap it may be worn out that some steam may come out through it causing temperature to increase in the process.
