I have an 83 280zx N/A. It has been sitting up for 15 years. Just got finished with a total engine rebuild. All components are original, however I installed a new coil, headers, and a rebuilt P90 head. I also removed and blocked off EGR valve. The car will start for a second or two, but will not stay running. The coil remains energized with fire to the plugs. I have checked the ECU terminals along with the components and all checks out ok as per the factory service manual. For some reason the injectors only energize one time when the key goes to the start position. With the crank angle sensor telling the ECU when to energize the injectors, is there a specific method to installing the distributor?

First, change the fuel filter, and make sure the lines are good. Check the intake manifold bolts for tighness, check all vacuum lines. Best to have it running, wiggle them around and listen for a hiss. Lastly, change idle control sensor, if the other suggestions don't make a difference.

SOURCE: Cranking but doesnt start, or intermittently not starting

My car does the same thing...sometimes it wont start....have to turn the key off then when I crank it again it fires right away. Possible that the in tank fuel pump pressure regulator isn't building to the proper pressure. Nissan did post a recall....under warranty *recall* I might add.... there is an updated pump that will cure the problem but since you most likely are out of warranty it will cast $400+ for the part plus labour if you can't install it yourself. Call nissan to verify if your car is affected by referencing your VIN with them. Dave.

It sounds like the number 2 injector is hung open.

It will dump fuel and cause all sorts off issues with the ECU.

You should ohm that injector and compare it with the others to see if it is wildly different. If so, change it out and retest.
