  1. Hi guys I'm a newbie here . I bought a 300gt a few months ago and it was a bit sluggish so decided to clean the intake manifold up . Have done this and all back together now but the car won't start . It turns over and has compression and fuel and spark but just doesn't want to start. Has anyone else had this problem?please need help .....

    Check the vacuum hose running from the swirl valve solenoid (in front of the plenum) to the swirl valves (under the lower plenum), mine had a kink in it when i first put it back together and i had the same issues, reconnected it and sorted out the kink and it fired away as if nothing had happened.

  2. I brought a 2001 250gt about a month ago, didn't have as much power as i thought it would and after running a full tank through it i found it had really rubbish fuel economy, striped the plenum and swirl valves and cleaned them, cacked with buildup, and has been running like gold ever since, the change was drastic. i wounder how many people have rubbished these cars simply because no one ever maintained them properly.

  3. Hi guys.

    I know this is an old thread an not even sure if any of you are still around, however i wanted to thank you all for your input and comments, i brought a 2001 250gt with 130k on the clock and was surprised/ disappointed at the lack of performance and terrible fuel economy i was getting from it, i did some searching and came across this golden thread, i decided to tackle this project myself and started the tear down, scared myself shitless when i started it up the first time as i had left a vacuum hose off!, put it all back together and she is purring like new.

    thanks again guys (and girls if any?!) you have all saves me much pissing around and money.
