Hello, I just found out about this community and im very interested. I just bought a set of BTF-LIGHTING WS2815 from amazon thats being controlled by a esp-32 but im currently only getting 1 led to turn on. Im not sure why but I would love some help if others have done this combo before.
thanks
Hi, I was wondering if there is a diagram that goes over how the EGR valve works and how to diagnose it. I recently found the "280-Z ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION" handbook, I found it to be very helpful and was wondering if there is anything like that for the emission side of things.
thanks
Hello, out of curiosity I took to the car to do a free emissions test just to see if any of the work I did help. I'm still stuck at high hydrocarbons and a CO2 readings. Any advice on what else to do next before I have to break the bank and buy a new catalytic converter and if I do need to buy one any recommendations on where to get a cheap one that is carb compliant (California resident).
List of things I did:
Fuel filter
Oil change
Spark plugs
Air filter
AFM to throttle body silicone hose
Thermostat
On my last post I asked if these were normal for after being on for around 50 miles. I'm mostly concerned because idk if the burn spot is normal or if it's unusual for it to be on one side.
I have since changed my air filter replaced the silicone hose coupler from my AMF and throttle body and fuel filter to see if that would help.
These are NGK- G-Power platinum spark plugs gapped at .035"
I've seen some post and read comments on my original post on the spark plugs and I'm questioning if I should change the gap length or if it is fine as is.
I just put these spark plugs in maybe 50 miles ago and was wondering if this is normal?

Hello, as the title states I'd like some advice on how to go about just cleaning the engine bay from all the dust and grease that has been sitting. I was watching a couple videos on it and it seems like detailers just foam cannon the bay then spray it off to clean but I'm worried about damaging things.
Any advice would be great :)
Hello, as the title says I recently bought this 1977 280z that has been sitting for 10years after failing smog. Previous owner said it failed due to high hydrocarbons along with mentioning the IAC was 'acting up'. I'm currently just trying to see if till pass smog. I did a oil change, spark plugs and air filter. I'd like some advice on what I should do next to fix some issues I'm having.
1st: Oil pressure is not consistent, it'll fluctuate from around 60psi to 25psi
2nd: There is a loud whining noise when going above 4k rpm
3rd: fuel on spark plugs after running
4th: Car sometime with try to stall when I tap gas (refer to video idk how to explain it)
5: it also has a longer crank time but I'm not sure it that's normal or not
Any advice would be helpful and I'll be sure to be active in the chat incase I forgot some info.
Thanks
