No i haven't ran a diagnostics yet, but i planned on doing it today. i used to do it on my last Z, she was a code 55, miss that car. but i do have the newer style ptu, i remember checking my last car for the old style. i did alot of researching last night and im thinkin it might be the ptu as well.
i read that theres a black loop on the ptu for timing, and that if the ptu is out then the timing light wont work correctly on that loop. is that right? i planned on checking that today. i also rememver seeing a Z in the pick a part a few month ago, im going down there today, maybe i can snag the ptu if its not gone. my other question is, is the CAS suppose to spin very freely without any tension on it, by hand?
it is quiet enough for me to hear as i turn it but only one injector or coil clicks/buzzez if i spin the CAS at a steady speed. if i do it slow, it just clicks over. but not only the coil/injector, but a solenoid by the battery which i remember was part of the AIV system. should that be activating?
the plug on the cas looks clean, actually almost new. it is actually spliced on there with wire nuts but the connections are solid. ill replace them with butt connectors when i buy more. i haven't check the ptu for corrosion yet either. ill post later when i find more out.
btw, what is the order on the engine for firing when looking at it from the front? i tried the front 4 coils for a spark (ones not under bal tube) and so far none. i went and bought the kit, it also works for recessed plugs like ours. the guy i got the car from gave me 6 more coil packs as well. he said he had them tested 2 times and the 2nd time they were working better than the first. but he said the coils already in there were tested as well and they are good.
