Z31 running rough

Asked by GuruDXDC1 Oct 05, 2018 at 09:22 PM about the 1985 Nissan 300ZX 2 Dr STD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

1985 Nissan 300zx (Z31 N/A) engine is bogging
down. It’s an occasional occurrence. Sometimes it
does it sometimes it doesn’t. When it does it the
car shakes and jerks as if it’s going to cut off but if
I let off the accelerator a little and gradually
accelerate it stops. Even in 5th gear it will jerk then
it will stop. Just noticed a slight hissing noise
under hood. Looking for answers for a possible
solution.
