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.

it is a broken timing belt. the shop said they are not even going to mess w/ it but want me to pay for towing to wherever i want it towed too. so i ordered a timing belt from advanced auto and it will be here tomorrow, the Z will be towed to my house tomorrow also. a friend of mine and i are going to do this in my garage. im pretty confident that this shouldnt be that big of a problem, but if anybody has experience with this, i would greatly appreciate any help, i am willing to pay. i just dont want to end up w/ a $2000 bill from some shop. if anybody is interested let me know. thanks.
