Hi i have an issue with my Z (1990 300zx TT), i have a 2 step lunch control and i tried it out on my Z but its was doing its thing then a backfired then died and since then it did start twice but for like 5 second and the RPM gauge was going crazy. i had the timing belt change september 7 2016 so i dont think i could be the timing belt, it has fresh new spark plugs in and because the engine did start i know its getting fire. i did test my fuel pump and its running perfecly but now i am lost again so i need some help.

Remove the launch control .... Just because the belt was changed, doesn't mean it didn't jump timing.

You would have to check the timing marks vs top dead center. Going to be a lengthy process, since you will have to access the belt behind the cover.
