What's going on guys? So, once again I have another problem with my Z32.
I've been searching the web for a little bit now trying to get decent ideas on what my problem actually is. All of my searches end up coming around to so many different options. I just need advice on where the hell I should start.
So basically I was cruising in fourth gear last night at around 40 MPH. All was good. I pulled up to a light and threw it in neutral and slowed down to approach the red. All of the sudden I look down at my cluster and of course my RPMs are tanking. My car stalled shortly after. No amount of gas to keep my RPMs up could save it. It's like I lost complete power. Like I had zero fuel pressure almost. But the problem is, I did have fuel pressure. About 5 minutes of praying to God that my car would start, after trying to fire it up countless times at this light.
She fired up like a champ. As I was riding out. Trying to limp this bitch home to figure out what the hell happened. She stalls again but this time, right as I let out the clutch to get into 3rd gear. I notice my fuel pressure was a little higher than it has been, this time.
Might I mention before hand I've had some issues with me receiving power loss in 5th gear after cruising at a steady pace for 5 minutes at a time. Again still feeling like I was getting no power what so ever.
But anyways. I kept trying to limp my car home and I stalled maybe 7 or 8 times on the way home under a "load"
She idles fine but once I put her in gear and start accelerating she freaks the fuck out.
Today she got even worse. I went to take her to go get gas and I was good, all the way up until I pulled into my driveway. She stuttered and died again. At this point I'm miffed. She wouldn't start for 30 minutes until I let her be for 15 minutes. I went back and she fired right up again like there was no issues. She started running, super rough however. To the point where I'm seeing white smoke and backfires when I get on it. But there's no visible leakage like it could be a head gasket. I'm so fucking confused and I have no clue where to start.
Morale of the story here is. This car just wants to die. She's so miserable but I can't let her die. She's a classy whore. And classy whores don't die at the end of movies. I just need some advice or pointers on where I should look to get this shit fixed. Could it be a fuel pump issue? Idk I think it goes beyond that. I'm terrified and so is my wallet. So let's get into it I guess.
Thanks for reading all of it and I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks again.
