Infiniti g35 coupe 6mt
how about F1? And checked yesterday and one of the ground wires on top of the timing cover was loose and when I tightened it the car cranked and started right away so I think that was apart of the problem and the other ground wire under the coolant reservoir is extremely dirty so tomorrow I’ll take a wire brush and clean it. I think what happened with the loose ground wire was I only hand tightened it and the vibrations of the engine loosened it a little bit and it been throwing off the car but the cel light is still on. I’m going to warm up the car and go into consult 2 and try to do the idle relearn procedure as well. I can’t get it to work doing the pedal dance so imma try consult 2

F1 is the female side of the harness, E10/F1 is the same connection.
Yeah that ground in the center top of the timing chain cover (F23) is the ground wire for all the coil pack transistors and the ECM relay, will DEFINITELY cause a no-start. Possibly also the APP issue but I'm thinking that will probably still need to be troubleshooted since it's not the primary ECM ground. That just handles the ignition side of things.

G35 track
hey I would love a reply. So I just swapped a 350z motor into my g35 coupe. It was an auto motor going into a manual car. Did the pilot bearing and everything. Swapped power steering pump and alternator bc different connections to harness. Used harness from original g35 motor and g35 ecu. But car is in limp mode. Essentially with a 350z throttle body the car will start but either have zero throttle response or it will act as if its limp mode won’t go above 3k rpm and climbs very slowly. I drove it once before the throttle body ended up stopping giving me response and the car started to get a little bit more responsive the more I drove it but it was on and off. Some points I’d have 5% throttle respond some times I would have 50%. Just throwing numbers off the top my head I didn’t have a throng to actually tell me. I have codes saying my app sensor is going bad and saying it’s sending a different voltage than the throttle body. With a g35 throttle body car will start then die right away as if the motor isn’t getting fuel but it like the throttle body just isn’t opening. Please let me know if I have to flash the ecu or what I’m at a stand still with this car too much money into it. Also don’t have the downstream o2 sensors(ones that go to cats) even installed or plugged in. Because with the swap we couldn’t get my old cats off the old headers so we used test pipes on new motor and the o2 sensors were seized in the cats so I just threw the car together without the 02 sensors. I’ve heard that could be causing this whole problem too. Just need a second opinion before throwing even more money into this car. Replaced throttle body and pedal with parts form junkyard from same year g35 as mine and still nothing please someone help.
did you ever find out what you need to do because I also swapped my engine I’m thinking I have to reprogram the ECU and put the correct in but I was wondering what you did
