i just bought a 1985 300zx with 100640 miles. i got the car home after a two hour drive park and shut it off and has not started since. the security light was on when i first tried to start it and it wanted to start but would not rev up to idle. i tried to start it the next day and i wasnt getting any fire out of the motor. replaced cap rotor plugs and wires i'am getting spark i pulled off the fuel line after the filter and im not getting any gas. i tried testing the pump but dont think i did it right plz help me out if you know anything.

If fuel isn't pouring with vigor out of your fuel line, your fuel pump isn't working. Check your fuse first... it is located in the fuse panel along the driver's side door. Replace if blown and re-test. If it doesn't fix anything, more than likely your fuel pump has gone out.

If it cuts out while idling or upon deceleration, it may be your IACV (idle air control valve). Pull it off your intake plenum and clean it out using either carb / choke cleaner or brake parts cleaner. Also, if you can, try pulling the codes from the ECU. It'll give you a clear answer.
