I just picked up my G coupe project yesterday, and as of now the car won't start. The previous owner slid the back end of the car into a curb, and he said since then the car won't start, but there was a code for a cam sensor before the wreck. I don't think this would cause a no start, and I don't think I hear the fuel pump. I checked for some kind of a fuel pump kill switch, but the general consensus is that only Ford vehicles had these. So, any suggestions?

 

Edit: I do hear the fuel pump priming, but the car still won't start

 

Hi, have you checked your car with a scanner? It may be a whole lot of problems, but I would check for both cam sensors and knock sensor. Once that's done and the car still doesn't start it could be the starter. Just fixed this problem on mine.

 

Yeah I put a scanner on it, and it didn't return any codes. The starter is fine, the car will turn over until the battery dies.

An internal combustion automobile needs:

1-Air
2-Fuel
3-Spark

Is there enough gas in the tank?

Did you try checking for fuel pressure?

My guess is you've got a fuel problem



Are you getting spark?

I pulled the fuel line, but I can't check fuel pressure due to the fact that you need a special adapter for these cars, which I don't have at the moment. But the car is getting fuel. So I'm thinking yeah it's either injectors or spark. The car did have the passenger curtain airbag deploy, and I talked to a former Infiniti tech and he said that may be what's causing the car not to start, but I'm not 100% on that.

 

Check the cam sensors anyway and see if there is oil leaking around them. Does the red security light disappear when you turn the ignition on? Try unplugging the MAF or holding the pedal down while you crank.
