Z32 probems.....again

NegativeGain · Mar 27th, 2007, 07:11 PM

so i was driving home from work yesterday when my car suddenly stopped after making a funny noise like maybe a vacuum pump came off . I pulled over tried to start the car it ran for a little bit shock alot then it cut off again.started it again same thing happened so i pushed the gas with no luck cut out even faster. Got it towed back to my house there it sits.

next day i checked the fuel filter seems fine gas comes out each end. Did a ECU Diagnostic no luck flashed a 55.

im a little disapointed but not really cause as of now i found a pretty good deal on a tt motor and trans for $6200 installed.

can someone tell me my next step to see what the problem is ?

Check your CAS and injectors.

10-4 will check the injectors the CAS was changed less then 2 months ago

An engine running a little hot can burn up sensitive electronics, such as a CAS, in a hurry. I wouldn't discount the CAS just yet.....

Correct me if I am wrong, but a fried CAS would not even let the engine start, period. I would start with the injectors and all your vacuum lines.

$6,200.00 might get you a TT, if you're so fortunate. Search/look around, weigh out your options (ins, paint, condition and such). I'd start with vacuum lines myself since you mentioned it, then go from there. Good Luck, Z

the battery was all corroded so i cleaned that up the best i could.hooked it back up battery was dead. Then tried to jump start it no luck. So next I will check all the vacuum line once I find where every one is.so I got nothing but time from here to about June. Thanx for the help peeps

but yea the tt engine has 82,000 miles on it. plus i trust the person putting it in.
here i was hoping to take it out on the track come June (Buttonwillow)

Overheated electronics can become intermittent, sometimes working and sometimes not. Seen it many times before in other vehicles.

took a look at the engine again didn't see any obvious problems with the vac lines.Man do I know nothing about this car.but then again without the proper tools what can you do. are their vac lines under the car to?I need a nissan consult. I think i can check the spark plugs thats my next adventure.i got those changed at like 192,000 miles with my service. Spongerider why don't you come over and giveme a walk thru

Email me and maybe we can work something out?

NegativeGain · Mar 30th, 2007, 03:19 PM

NegativeGain · Mar 30th, 2007, 10:45 PM

Im just throwing out solutions here but could a pipe belonging to my carbon canister be a possible problem? and are there vac lines under the car?

oh yea i bought a new battery to see the difference.its got a not so normal sounding crank.....like a studder*

NegativeGain · Apr 11th, 2007, 11:30 PM
