91 Z24 Issues Starting, motors, fuses

[WallyHotvedt]

Hi! I have a 91 Z with 120000 miles on it. I just acquired the vehicle, and the passenger side window motor works, but only the side closest to the windshield of the window goes down. The car started and ran until I had to replace the Battery, Alternator, and serpentine belt. NOW 14 days later, the car will offer crank but will NOT start. I noticed that the ECM fuse was blown, so I replaced it, the car started.....once. Then right back to the same pattern, all crank, no fire. There seems to be a gas smell occuring when I try to start it, and I believe the fuel pump is offering as well, but has not sounded quite the same since that only start. This car ran so well for such a short period of time. I am also in need of wheel cylinders, AC (valve port leak), Driver's side window motor, maybe a gasket or two and front wheel bearings. When it runs, it runs STRONG, and sounds fantastic, Tranny is GREAT. Wonder if I should part or fix. THANKS HELPING IN MY TIME OF NEED!

First: next time when replacing the ALT. be sure the battery is disconnected.

Everything you've said are really minor repairs...
The window problem can be a simple as being derailed... the window has theses plastic guides that when not lubricated will break off causing the window to derail and barabing the shark fin effect.

Fuel Pump: Ok not much fun.... but first replace the fuel filter.

If ya get stuck let me know...

THanks for the response, when I replaced the alternator, the battery wasn't in the car. after I installed, I put in the new battery, then had a hell of a time getting the idle correct from the computer and cleaning the IAC Valve, I have cleaned the map sensor connection, and am now wondering what the relay is that sits on an extra wire connected to my bettery that looks like it is also the extra wire on the alternator, same gauge, RED....again thanks for the help, and is the fuel filter something I can do myself?
