You posted on a Friday and no one responded during the weekend, and then answered your own questions by Monday.

Take a deep breath and count to ten before posting.

 

Buddy, I exited your thread the second I saw your paragraph of white text. You want help on issues? Make it easy for the group to read.

Also, find the factory service manuals and try and answer the questions yourself first (like you did already).

 

factory manuals are sh*t, i borrowed a friends and that thing was useless. i learned the entire harness by eye and traced what each one goes to. its the only reason i fixed my G today and the only code im throwing is for a shorted crankshaft sensor. i apologize for what i wrote. wasnt in the right state of mind and literally almost burnt my car to the ground because this issue was driving me insane, borrowing cars having people making me feel rushed etc. it was the worst thing ive experienced while just simply making car part runs. so again, i apologize.

 

Are you sure it was the Infiniti factory manual, and not an aftermarket manual like Chilton's or something? I've never seen anyone say that the FSM is useless. It may not be able to answer every shade tree question since there is an assumption that the tech has access to the Nissan diagnostic machines, but "useless" seems like a pretty strong word. I've found mine to be extremely helpful when needed. Which hasn't been often. But I started out with a garage queen (2006 w/ 26.5K mi. in 2017) that had never been beat upon....

 

You probably didn't "borrow" the factory service manual from a friend, it's just a set of .PDF files. It was likely a Haynes or Chilton manual, they're ok for some things and I keep one in the trunk for quick roadside things like torque specs because I hate carrying my cell phone on the weekends.

Here's a link to the actual FSM in case you need it again in the future,

Something else that is really important for the future is to post the diagnostic trouble code that the car is throwing, not just results of various tests. A lot of these systems are very intertwined and just because your code reader or the internet is suggesting one thing doesn't mean the actual problem isn't a completely separate component. Having the DTC lets us use all our experience with these cars to help you get to the ACTUAL ROOT CAUSE.
