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.

well the Z is torn apart right now, we currently have pulled out the radiator, rad. shroud, cam gear covers, throttle cable cover, radiator hoses, thermostat something or other, and about a million different size bolts. all thats left to take off now is all the serpentine belts and then the gears for them. the timing belt in fact is not broken at all, but is missing a bunch of teeth on it. i dunno what this means, but hopefully is didnt break anything else. im praying my engine is ok.
i hope this engine is not toast for a bunch of reasons, one being that there is so much done to this engine that i would hate to have to get rid of it. be that as it may, if im going to get a new engine, you can bet its gonna be a vg30dett. ive found them complete w/ harness and everything for $1500. granted this is my LAST RESORT, i dont want to have to pull the motor out. the car was towed to my house today sometime while i was at work. but the idiots who towed it locked the keys in the car, and only the dealer can cut a new key off the original "Z" keys so i dont have a backup yet (yes im an idiot). plus they charged me for towing twice because i already paid for the first time. PLEASE, FOR ANYBODY"S SAKE, NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR TO KNEIPS IN MORTON EVER, THEY ARE MORONS. tomorrow the new belt should be here and we will hopefully have it on by the end of the day. so thats where we stand now. -------------------- 2001 Chevy Silverado ext. cab 4x4
