Help, the Z won't start

DIGItonium · 08-18-2013, 01:04 PM

It happens to me as well at least once a week. It'll rev to idle, then drop down to 0 and die. Press down on the gas pedal a bit as it revs up on start.

ONCE A WEEK?!?!?! What the f is wrong with your car?

I'm at a campground with limited tools on hand.

I put another 4 gallons of gas in it. Now the fuel gauge shows 1 dot above 1/2 tank. I got the covers off of the fuel tank on the right side. I can hear phunk's fuel pump prime, but the stock fuel pump is quite. My thinking is that the stock fuel pump went roses up.

Tomorrow, I,m renting a U-haul truck and trailer to get the Z home on Tuesday. Then I will have all of my tools to use.

No clue. Maybe it needs a dyno tune since it's still running the out of box tune from Sam@GTM. I sent them my datalogs a year ago, and I never heard anything since. Been doing this for over a year. No codes. I'm thinking it's too rich or something.
