“Vehicle ran rough and wouldn't accelerate faster than 10 MPH. This was due to a failure in the fuel injection system. There wa fuel injection recall 95i006000, but it only included earlier model year vehicles.”
NHTSA complaint #10066727, filed 2004-04, 98,000 miles“Car caught on fire and burned while driving on highway. Failure more than likely due to fuel injector defect, spraying gas over engine. Result was intense fire destroying car. Nothing salvagable. Recall of 90's Nissan 300ZX is highly recommended.”
