Known issues on the 1987 300ZX. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the fuel injection system, where leaking fuel injectors and related hoses could result in a fire. The second covers the automatic transmission's floor shift lever and linkage, where unintended acceleration could occur, for example when shifting out of park, resulting in a vehicle accident. Owners have filed 30 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a fuel injector leak to checking the shift linkage or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1987 300ZX.
