Question I had oil pressure problems put new sensor in for oil pressure car ran good then lost oil pressure car cut off I got car towed to MY house it started up to drive off tow truck starred knocking no oil pressure now will not start where do u start

[@hotwillzgarage3167]

If the motor is knocking it's most likely bad and has a spun bearing. I would drain the oil and see if you can see metal in it.

I am surprised you didn't pull the fuel sender and clean it while you were in there.

[@hotwillzgarage3167]

I did pull the unit out but it was trashed no saving it at all. That will get replaced when the car goes on the road

I always tell people these cars are not for novice enthusiast lol!

Hello My 1986 300ZX is having the same problems as yours. I changed new sparks, wire, CAS, alternator, battery, ignition coil, fuel regulator, fuel pump. But it just wont start. It hasnt run since winter of 2018. Can you give me any suggestion, Thx

[@hotwillzgarage3167]

Does the car have spark or fuel? Do you hear the fuel pump prime? Check the fuseable links beside the battery under the small rectangular cover.

@@hotwillzgarage3167 Yep it ran and I took for a spin in the neighbor but then it wont start again

[@hotwillzgarage3167]

@@thanhvi3348 Have you checked the codes on the ecu? Sometimes that will give a little bit of a idea. If you have spark coming from the coil I would try spraying some starter fluid into the intake. If it starts maybe something happened to the fuel pump. On my black car the transistor in the ecu went bad so I had to rewire the pump to work.

check injectors, get them cleaned or just replaced. My 88 would start, die, and not start again. New injectors fixed it, if it helps autozone has some for 300ish with some kind of 20% off coupon you'll have to research which saved a good amount

[@SlayaOneTwelve]

Will the stock injectors handle your power goals?

[@hotwillzgarage3167]

The stock injectors will probably max out at about 250whp.
