To test the ignition control module (ICM) on a Datsun 280ZX, first, ensure the vehicle is turned off and disconnected from the battery. Use a multimeter to check the resistance of the ICM's terminals according to the specifications in the service manual. Additionally, you can perform a functional test by checking for proper voltage output while cranking the engine. If the module fails these tests, it may need to be replaced.
possibly your MAF sensor, fuel pump, ignition control module, so many more, I own one and these cars are very tempermental
What is the process for installing a new timing chain for a 1980 datsun 280zx?
The flasher for a 1983 Datsun 280zx is mounted under the dash. It is on the drivers side, close to the kick panel.
There is no firing order with datsun injection. It is a "batch fire" system. That means when 1 injector fires they all do. The system gets a signal from the ignition coil as to when to fire.
The Datsun 280ZX has not been produced for a number of years. You would have the best luck finding one at a dealer or website that specializes in classic cars.

To troubleshoot the ignition system of a Datsun 280ZX, start by checking the battery voltage to ensure it's fully charged and connections are clean. Inspect the ignition coil for proper operation; measure its resistance and look for any signs of damage. Next, examine the distributor, including the rotor and cap for wear, and ensure the timing is set correctly. Finally, verify that the spark plugs are in good condition and firing by checking for spark when cranking the engine.

The Datsun 280ZX is a iconic Japanese sports car. The styling, cost and target market make it comparable to a Corvette. It has a top speed of 125 miles per hour.
There could be several reasons why your 1983 Datsun 280ZX won't start. Common issues include a dead battery, faulty ignition components, or fuel delivery problems, such as a clogged fuel filter or a malfunctioning fuel pump. Additionally, check for loose or corroded connections in the electrical system. If the engine cranks but doesn't start, it may also be worth inspecting the spark plugs and ignition timing.
