Oh this is fun...

I have a 1993 300ZX N/A and have had two injectors go out on me at different times. This is an expensive fix for two reasons; 1) the injector. 2) the installation process.

If you're lucky you can find a shop or eBay seller with new or reconditioned injectors at an affordable price. $150~$275/injector is steep. Worse is the cost of removal and installation since the upper plenum and fuel rails must be removed. This is a design flaw by Nissan since you can see both screws to remove the injectors, but one is partially covered by the aliminum upper plenum (big silver colored aluminum air intake over the block). There are some sites that will talk about drilling or filing the plenum to allow access to the second screw, but this is highly frowned upon and you run the risk of putting a hole in the plenum. Best to leave this as-is.

It's cost effective to replace these yourself if you're handy with a wrench and a screwdriver. the cost for a shop to do this job is between $600 and $1000 for one injector. Most of the cost is the labor to remove and replace the plenum and fuel rails.

If you want to do this yourself, start with using a voltmeter and check each injector to find the bad one. Set the voltmeter to Ohms, disconnect the electrical from the injectors, and check the resistance between the contacts of each injector. They should read between 10 and 18 Ohms. Here's how:

Here's a step by step process for replacement:

Like I said, I paid for this twice and never again. Too much money for such a small part that I can do myself in my spare time.

Hope this helps!

I replaced my fuel injector # 3 and all spark plugs on my 1991 Nissan 300zx non turbo and my engine light is still on and my car still idles really weird and it smells like gas so badly all the time now...

the ecu is located behind the passenger kick panel , there is a little window at the top of it which has 2 lights in it red and green, turn the key to the on position, do not start engine, push gas pedal all the way down then release, the lights will start blinking, for example if you get 3 green blinks and 2 red blinks that means code 32, 5 green and 1 red code 51, there is a list on the front of the ecu that tells you what each code means

My 1986 Nissan 300zx non-turbo was running fine, then just stalled out suddenly and would not restart. I checked the plugs, wiring, fuel, all are OK. I installed a new coil, distributor cap and rotor. If I...

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.

Issue's with rough idling......

get a pair of pointy nose pliers start the car let the engine revs settle, when they have pinch off the return line from the fuel rail and see if the revs come up if so you have a injector problem and get the m cleaned (don't pinch off the hose to long as it will make a fuel leak only do it for a couple of seconds)

Hi I havw question how many gears have 1991 nissan 300 zx tt automatic and when at chenging gears (rev) I heard around 4000rpm.

300zx auto will have 4 gears. 1-3 are normal running gears 4th is said to be an "overdrive" gear.

shift points should be under 4krpm, with light driving. my 300zx non-turbo usually shifts around 2-3K.

throttle position sensor could need adjustment or replacement. trans fluid should be checked to see if it's in good shape and full.

300zx non-turbo smelling gas

Don't worry about the comment posted above. As long as you dont have a miss-fire or the car isnt running rough your injectors are most likely fine.

There are a ton of small and short fuel lines that run on these cars stock. Just check all the fuel lines under the hood and you should see or smell a small leak on the hose itself.

Timing on a 1991 nissan 300zx

There is no means of setting the timing if you are referring to a conventional timing light. The engine is designed with sensors that sense the angle of the camshafts in relationship to the crankshaft and whether it is on the intake or exhaust stroke on the #1 cylinder. This design is actually a little more complex than that because it has variable valve timing which means that the angle in which the camshafts open and close the valves, change with RPM's This give the engine the best of both worlds. It's like have an engine with cams designed for torque at low RPM and a set of cams designed for HP with a free breathing quick revving engine you would have on a race course. The ECM is constantly changing the timing and injector pulse width based on many sources of input, from, the O2 sensor, air flow, air temp, coolant temp, fuel pressure, RPM's and a host of other inputs.
SO>>>>>>>>>>>> in a manner of speaking, unless you are making reference to setting up the timing chain, everything else is under control by the ECM and related components.
