I would replace CATalitic converter, this car is old, plus a tuneup is 100% necessary , spark plugs wires, ditributor cap & rotor, plus both the air & fuel filters need replaced. change oil & filter. then you will pass emissions test. and your car will run like its suppose too. if you don't do all this , then buy a new car !

SOURCE: 1986 nissan 300zx driver power

Did it rain before it happened? (Humidity?) It happened to my 2000 Maxima. A few days later it was OK. I also checked under driver's seat. I thought maybe I was pushing on a wire with stuff I had there..?

SOURCE: wont smog

If the car idle on high rpm check if when you will step on the gas pedal over 2500 3000 rpm the car will start shaking and the will die if thats happening then check your mass air flo sensor ,or if there is no air leak that avoid the mass air flo sensor

these cars are known to have injector failures and that would make you fail a emmission test easily. also i would reccomend looking at your oxygen sensor.

Failed emissions hc high

First I recommend changing spark plugs, air filter, and change the oil & filter. If these are dirty or fouled up it will kill your millage and help to fail smog.
You can reduce both NOX and CO emmissions by adding denatured alcohol to the gas tank. Run it down to a bit under 1/4 tank and add 1 1/2 gallons. It makes the engine run a bit rough, but really clean.
If you still fgail SMOG then you need a new catalytic converter.
I used to "trick" my 86' with alcohol, but just rebuilt the engine so I put a new Cat on it. It passed emissions with WELL BELLOW numbers.

Good luck.

1986 300zx fan belt replacement...can't get belts off

You need the release tension on the driven accessories, alternator, power steering pump, smog pump MULTIPAL BELTS.

If it is a single SERPENTINE belt there will be an idler that is spring loaded and will release the tension on the belt.

ALWAYS NOTE HOW THE BELT(s) ARE ROUTED make a detailed drawing you will forget it happens to me all the time.
