Crank but no start.

Asked by Alejandro Oct 13, 2017 at 01:07 AM about the 1981 Datsun 280ZX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Vehicle was running before I replaced the brake
master cylinder. Car runs with starter fluid, I have
no injector pulse. Do this cars have a crank or cam
sensor for injection pulse, can't figure out why it
stopped running. All fuses and links are good, all
relays are good, I have spark at coil and wires, all
spark plugs look good, I have fuel and pressure at
the rail. Car has an L28 NA

I have not had time to get to working on the car, I have been looking at diagrams. The dropping resistor is next to the master cylinder, I am planing on doing a pin out test for pulse and then moving on to the resister. If the resistor is the problem is there a mod I can do since the part is no longer produced ?

Hey Alejandro I’m having the same problem. Just wondering if you ended up finding out what the source of the problem was and if you got it up and running. Can really use the help
