I have a 1986 non turbo Nissan 300zx Awhile ago,

I have a 1986 non turbo Nissan 300zx Awhile ago, while i was driving home. My car started to over heat, then blew a water hose and water got everywhere. My father and I have replace all water hose's , altnertor , coil, starter, the fuse's , relays, fuel pump and lines, and the computer. It cranks but won't fire to start.? What else can be stoping it from doing that? Also on note, i'm not getting any power to the coil .

    Did you find a solution?

    It is obvious that you were throwing parts at the car in hopes of finding a solution to your problem. From your description, I would guess that you blew the top or bottom radiator hose. (more likely the top one) It's hard to beleive from yor description that you lost power to the coil. I have taken 300Z'S to the car wash when the engine's were nasty enough that I n is wat It goes rignition input signals also come from the distributor. It doesn't mean go out and buy one, dry that one out. No disrespect intended, but sometimes people using volt meters or digital volt meters may get confused on where to set the control dial or put the leads. they may have it set for AC instead of DC power readings or on amps, have weak batteries in their test meter. If they are using a test light, are they getting a good ground? A blown coolant hose wouldn't cause the parts you have replaced to fail. I'm betting on a wet distributor cap. Get a can of WD-40 take the cap off and look for moisture. Also the ignition module on most are located right near the coil. Although I have never seen a wet module connector cause a no start, anything is possible. WD-40 to the rescue. It displaces moisture. In terms of your distributor cap. just spray some WD-40 into the top of of the cap, a little in the distrbito, if it starts, get the disteibutor dried out. you can buy cans of compressed air for cleaning computers which may do the trick. Good .luck.

About the only thing left is the Ignition Control Module.

Vacuum lines diagram for 1986 300zx non turbo

So my Nissans vacuum lines have been deleted, and it has a cool air intake installed, but it seems to die on me when I start it unless I give it some gas... makes the idle like an earthquake, the hose for the intake manifold (sucks in air , above the carborator) has nothing connected and I'm lost on how to figure where my car needs air and where it needs to be sealed? Could you help??

I have a nissan 300zx turbo 1986 . if you get on it hard the axles pop out of rear differential , i have replaced axles and clips but they wont stay in . i also replaced rear shocks with non adjustable....

Are you sure you have the correct gearing for the differential? It appears there is alot of torque being applied and it is causing the spindles to shift. Check your springs also.

Suspension 1986 nissan 300z non-turbo. front end has had the ball joints, bearings struts, and brakes replaced recently and the rack in pinion replaced 14 months ago but the front end still sounds like...

How are the motor mounts? After all that work, you are down to only a few things it could be. good luck. Look for any bent suspension pieces. Does it have a sway bar up front? Check linkage and bushings on that.

What kind of motor is in a 1986 nissan 300zx non turbo is it an interface or not?

Hello adeg222: My name is Roger and I will help you. The motor should be a 3.0 SOHC V-6 engine. The repair manual does not refer to this engine as being a interference engine. How ever if the belt breaks and you were driving the car. The likely hood of engine damage is greatly multiplied.Also the time called for to replace the belt is 8.5 hours.
Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the quality of the answer. This way I know if it was helpful. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger
