Why does 280zx engine just die?

I can't diagnose your 280ZX's engine problem without more information. It's like trying to fix a car just by hearing a strange noise - you need more details!

To help me understand the issue better, please tell me:

* How does it die? Does it sputter and die, cut out completely, or just lose power?

* When does it die? Does it happen when you start it, when you're driving, or only after it's been running for a while?

* What other symptoms are there? Are there any warning lights on the dashboard, strange noises, or any other unusual behavior?

* What have you already checked? Have you checked the fuel system, ignition system, or other common culprits?

Once I have a better understanding of the situation, I can provide you with more specific advice.

However, I can give you some general troubleshooting tips:

* Check the fuel system: Ensure there's fuel getting to the engine. Check the fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel lines.

* Check the ignition system: Inspect the spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor.

* Check the air intake system: Make sure the air filter is clean and there are no leaks in the intake manifold.

* Check the engine control unit (ECU): The ECU can cause problems if it's faulty.

It's also important to consult a mechanic if you're not comfortable working on your car. They can diagnose the problem and perform any necessary repairs.
