Re: Z won't start
I've been wrestilng with this problem for a while now. When I got my 92Z, I pulled the starter and replaced it with a new one as well as fuel injectors, plugs, coil packs, etc. When the first time that the car wouldn't start, I had just had the clutch replaced by Jim Van Dorn. When it happened, he told me that it was the clutch safety switch. When I got home, I bypassed the safety switch and have not had another problem since then.
Jump ahead to 2014 and I bought the 93 Ruby Z. Low mileage, fun to drive and then the problems started. Minor issues at first like cruise control not working, stuff like that. Gordon fixed a lot of problems with the car. However, when the car started it's current problem, I did bypass the clutch switch and it seemed to work. However the fix did not take. I have removed the kick panel many times to get it started. However, now I have this issue. I have another issue to correct while I'm under the steering wheel. I want to get the car ready for NCRS so I will get a new battery for the car and go through the testing. I do have the car manuals and the checklist items to check for what is wrong. However, if I do have to pull the plenum, there might be a problem. I have pulled the plenum on my 92 many times and have had no issues. I tried to pull the plenum on my 93 for an another issue and I had to stop because I ran into many issues with it. It has a lot more connections with it than the 92 did and really surprised me. However, if I have to do it, I'll just have to take my time with it. Anyway, I'll get to work on this tomorrow and let you know. Roy
