z32 problems
the other day after coming home from a week long vacation i tried starting my car and it would turn over but not start. i thought it was low on gas so i went to the gas station in another car and got a gallon of 93 and attempted to start it again. it started on the second try with a puff of dark grayish smoke. the idle was really rough hanging around 500rpms until i would give it gas. then it would hesitate to rev but it eventually evened off. i drove to the gas station and filled it up and it didnt want to start again. second try after that it started and it had a rough idle again. then i drove it a few miles down the road and parked it for a few hours. thats where it has sat for the last day because it will not start at all now. im thinking i may have a leaking injector because of the smoke i had at the first start-up and the rough idle. any ideas would help though.

Check.....
ECU codes
Injectors (ohm them and turn CAS by hand)
Fuel Pressure and loss after shutdown
MAFS
ECU coolant temp sensor(The sensor with 2 wires on the hardpipe, I had similar probs when I broke mine)

Naw it's not that bad. If you need a hand you can bring it here, I have tools and 2 cars to swap parts with incase something needs to be changed for testing reasons. I don't know where you live but if Brandon was following you then it can't be very far away, I live right by the Hudson meet.

I would say either Friday after 4:30 or Saturday. I'm home all weekend but you don't want to bring it on Sunday and then something happen with no time to fix it. I'll PM you my number, just give me a call and we'll figure something out.
