m car was running fine,parked it for a few weeks and when I went out to crank it-no fire.tried different coil and ignition coil transistor,different distributor and no fire,have voltage to both sides of the transistor. does anyone know how to test these transistors,they are hard to find,appreciate any help
I thought I saw one hanging down but that looks like the end of the coil wire with the big rubber boot. I'm trying to sort through a no-start 81zx and came across this video.
I have same car as you it’s just that mines is shaking, hesitating, and idling very rough like it idles at 500-600 but it goes up and down like 400-600. When I drive around I feel like not all the power is there.. feels very rough so Idk what to do..
i dont see the comment with the answer. please tell me the problem

bro, im having the same issue. theres no comment where you stated what the fix was. could you be so kind to let us know?
Mine was the cas ( crank angle sensor inside the distributor. Cheap
i just bought a new distributor and it worked. sorry for the late comment
Which component in the distributor was bad? Could’ve been the pick up coil inside the distributor.??
What was the fix? my 1979 280zx has no spark!!
There is also an ignition coil relay too.
hey im having the same problem and ive looked in many places yet no results, what was the problem ?
Did you find out the problem? I'm in the same situation and can seem to find anything
see comment below, car runs and drives fine now!

I'm having same problem did u figure out what it was by chance?
Is it me or is the coil wire missing? I see it on the distributor but the top of the coil looks pretty bare.

Me too, Let me know if you fixed it
@@jacksongluesenkamp3477 my timing was off and took it to a shop. Than I replaced my ignition module.. and my Datsun was perfect.
@@jacksongluesenkamp3477 the shop fixed my rough idling they said it was the timing and the my distributor was position wrong..
@@danielgallegos382 thanks
What was the problem
How did you fix it?
I don't think this is your problem but you need to ground a spark plug and definitely not on top of the carburetor
YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE IGNITION CONTROL UNIT
