1981 280Z

Asked by GuruX4BSW Sep 27, 2018 at 09:04 AM about the 1981 Datsun 280Z

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I moved back to Texas after 18 years in Colorado. My car ran fine in CO but
now it is hard to start. Have had it worked on at a classic car place. Still hard
to start but run fine. Does it need a tune up after being in altitude? Also, there
is a gas station here that sells non ethanol gas. Should I try that gas? While in
CO I used regular unleaded but in Texas I have been using premium.
Any advice?
Thanks! Ceil
