pooler350 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I've just finished working on car and had the front end jacked up ( it was jacked up overnight). Tried to start car will turn over but not fire , all I've done is change the banana arm and front discs . On a previous car (ford) there was a fuel cut off switch which used to activate if car jacked up for any length of time . does anyone know if a 350 z has one ??? It could just be the battery as I had a strange episode with the lights last week ,but car turns over ok . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Tell me more about this strange episode with lights... There's no switch as you describe on the Zed, so I'd expect something else. What exactly happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooler350 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 I came home last Monday turned car and lights off got out of car and side lights came back on , tried a few times but would not turn off . In the end disconnected battery lead . Same next day had a but of a poke around looking at earth point etc nothing found but ok the rest of just week . Posted a question on here and had a reply saying another member had this fault just prior to his battery packing in . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
