Z problems Options

[TSiwrx]

ok so heres the deal, while driving back from ISU, i got off 55 onto queenwood and pushed the clutch in to stop. well the Z died there and wouldnt start back up. i tried jumpstarting it twice and it did nothing but tick. so i rolled on down the hill and tried to pop the clutch, still nothing. so i had the car towed to a shop here in town, knieps, and are having them check it out. all the interior/exterior lights and stereo and stuff work so im guessing its not the battery. when you turn the key, it just ticks and doesnt turn all the way over. im having a pretty good feeling this is a bad fuel pump problem. have any of you had this problem? if this is indeed a fuel pump problem, i would like to buy a fuel pump for cheap. if i end up having the shop do it, it will take 2 weeks and cost me like $600 and i dont want to do that (again). so if anybody has a fuel pump laying around that will fit a '91 300zx, let me know. thanks.

Your best bet is to find another Z and get the sensor that is on the passengers side head, it has a plug on both sides of it, can not remember exactly what its called, i want to say PTU, maybe power transistor unit is what it stands for, nissan never done a recall on them but i know right off the top of my head of 2 90-96 300zx's that had the same problem, died and it wouldn't start, in fact i know of a dealership that bought a 300zx for like 1500 bucks and that was the only problem, the PTU's are the same for turbo and non turbo z'z, search www.twinturbo.net and www.300zxclub.com for more information, let me know what you figure out
