Exclamation Engine Cranks over but won't start?

Hey guys,

I'm new to the site and am looking for help as to why my 05' G35c won't start.

The engine cranks over but it will not start. It only starts if when I jump the car. I realize that it could be a number of things. Just wanted to see if any of you have run in to the same problem.

FWIW, I just jump started the car, drove it around a bit. When I got home I turned off the car, waited 5 minutes and attempted to start the car freely, but it would not start.

Any suggestions/ info is appreciated.

That happened to my altima. Jumped it and drove for how long and when i turned it off and turned it back on it wouldnt start. So i just had to replace the battery and walaa. Would spark plugs be the problem?

Could be that the battery isn't holding the charge and not producing enough voltage to turn over. May not be the cheapest route to replace it, but it's always safe to ensure that you have a good battery

Go to autozone and get the battery tested I believe it's free to test.

If it is found to be bad, buy a duralast gold battery, and you get a discount if you give them your old battery
