I could use some help guys i was working on my 83 280zx na.Okay so some may have saw my last post with the snaped bolt i got that out of the block and went and installed a new water pump today.Everything went great got it on and went and started the car. Car started cold without problems and was idling normal and nothing was leaking, great right....So as i was letting it idle i gave it a little gas and the car rev slowly to 3000 rpm then like shot up quickly to 6 or 7000rpm wasnt sure if that was normal or not but then i let off and the car idled down normal for oh say about 2 mins.Went to give it gas again and no power 
. I look on the ground and there is liquid everywhere look around with my flashlight and see water pump is clean something was spraying onto the fan which sent water everywhere. Both hoses are in great shape so its not those what else am i missing here?? Also the fuel gauge keeps reading at a quater of a tank when im pretty sure its full and the fuel light is always on
. Thanks in advance i really wanna get my beast up and running haha you know.alright well after messing around with the car a little more ive figured it really doesnt start to spray till the car get warmed up.But i didnt find some small drops comming pretty rapidly on the ac compressor.It looks like its comming from something under the intake but i have no idea where i feel around and every thing is rustyish and coverd in just dirt and engine grease and stuff. Im really lost now.

Today I droped my car off at the painters but when I pulled up I went to roll up the windows and the drivers side broke in the all the way down position. I think its the switch on the door.
