Phantom Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 PLUGGED CAT CONVERTER! had same problem once with a 78 ford fairmont.....did a motor swap for no reason. Only the "California Edition" 280Z's had catalytic converters. The other 49 states had resonators in the CAT location. Then - again - he does live in CA. Ain't it great? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Smashed exhaust pipe will cause the same symptoms. Idles perfect, but no power. I had a 7.8 liter Ford that would only do 45 MPH. It was a smashed exhaust pipe. Quote Link to comment
