Ignition Coil Condenser...Important?
I removed the ignition coil condenser from a 1977 280z (the rf condenser that is mounted beside the coil and grounds to the air mass meter bracket plate) because it was preventing the car from starting? Anyway, the car starts but runs a little rough and I wanted to know if anyone could tell me if this grounded condenser affects the engine performance. A parts man told me that it was an RF (radio frequency) condenser and only affected the radio by preventing buzz when the car was running, however I wanted to check with anyone who drives a Z and might know more. Best, 77 280z

I had a problem with my alternator condenser. When plugged in, the Ignition Coil Trigger Input Circuit Test, voltage test of pin 1 on harness tested 3.6 volts when it should have tested battery voltage. Car would crank, but would choke when you pressed on the gas.
Unplugged it from the coil and the car would not choke when the engine was rev'ed.

Typo: should be Coil Condenser
