yesterday i went to the gas station and was going to put 20$, turn off the car and start pumping the gas and the gas pump wasnt pumping like it normally does, it was stopping like if the car was full , but the car had a quarter ,so i end up putting the 20$ struggling and got inside my car, when i turn on my car it turned off i was like wtf ??, then i try to turn it on again and it turn off again. i was like WTF!! so the third time i turn it on and gave it gas and it worked, the car turn on and it didnt turn off, so i was like ok??? i thought it was the gas . maybe a lil piece of dirt got stuck or something so i just let it slide and went home, but today i went to the post office, turn off the car, got down, did what i had to do, got back in the car and when i went to turn it on and AGAIN! the car didnt want to turn on i was like wtf!!!! , so i try what i did last time, turn it on and give it gas and it work.
no im starting to think what could it be? i thought it was the alternator, but i dont think is that, now im starting to think is the fuel pump or something since i have to give it gas to turn it on. SOMEBODY HELP!! WHAT COULD IT BE!!

The problem with gas you had happened to me a bunch of times. It would only fill partially and then stop as if the tank were full. I would just estimate based on my gauge reading. I also had some starting issues around the same time. It just sort of worked itself out on my car.
sounds like a ricer prblm ... lol j.m
mayb fuel lines. ?
and when you turn the key what noise it makes.. ?
does it crank , or does it make a clicking noise..
more details on what happen when you turn the key
.. but i think might have to do with the fuel injector or fuel line not properly sending fuel on start up .
idk ... but let every1 know about what type of noise your car makes when turning the key

When pulling on the lever when pumping the gasoline, barely apply any pressure to the gas pump handle. You should be able to tell when your tank is getting full. It's a little difficult to give you advice about the car unable to start, due to the lack of details your providing. Is the car actually cranking over? Does the car just click when you try to start it? Do you hear the fuel pump turn over when you turn the key over? etc... Hopefully this post will be of some use.

when i turn the key the car turns on like a normal car does, no click or nothing, it just turns on and the rpms drop and it turns off. them i turn it on again , no weird noises at all, give it gas and it stays on.
ok i looked around... and found out it might be a few things
first
go to autozone run a scan
see if you get any codes.
2 - negative battery cable was a lil loose
3 - cam or crank position sensor
4- fuel pump relay
5 - spark plug (If its black and carbony its a sensor that tells the computer to flood the motor with fuel if its really light tan to white its starving for fuel and then look in that direction)
6- Try cleaning the ldle air controller and throttle body including the maf screen.
7-Sounds like leaky injectors. You can put a fuel pressure gauge on it, start it up and note the fuel pressure, then shut it off and see if it drops quickly
if its none of that... idk

Just try doing some fuel injector cleaner in there. Do you have an exhaust? If its a true dual it mightve thrown the A/F Ratio off. It happend to me a few times and I had infiniti do a timing advance and it fixed the problem. My car was starving for fuel.
Cheapest option is to try the fuel injector cleaner. If not if you got some friends in infiniti or nissan that are techs they can do the timing advancment for you relatively easy.

and especially on hot days like these because im in orlando and your more down south the air is really thin so the cars ECU is trying to compensate for the air with fuel....
