AHAHAHAHAHA!!! I had to pull over I was laughing so hard

I am partial to Toyotas and I think Nissan doesn't have reliability to be honest. I didn't exactly buy it to be reliable, just more reliable than a Nazi equivalent.

Hell, my dad's car ON the day of purchase made odds sqeeks and rattles

But is times like this that I appreciate an extended warranty

Yea I always drove hondas first nissan I bought and the engine fails at 8k miles lol.

okay so I took another listen, 2nd and third crank, sound like fuel issues. 2nd crank its flooded third crank sounds like its taking a while for it to get fuel to start up. did you run the tank to empty at all? maybe picked up sediments in the fuel tank clogging a few injectors.

Going from flooded to not enough gas that quickly?!?!?!
In old carb'd cars I can understand, but fuel injection, really???

LAST two times it happened I was close to empty, BUT the day before, (like I was driving on 1-2 dots... Then filled up 16 gallons that day and problems the next day)

iceman21_23 · 02-13-2013, 02:33 AM

lol idk im just saying what im hearing honestly in the first one sounds like car is only running on 4 cylinders so I'm just guessing you may have picked up sediment, maybe the cold start up map our cars have is messed up? it definitely sounds like a fuel issue though, still doesn't explain why there's no problem while you drive it. has it done this before? or just recently since you ran low on gas...

Lol, you're killing me! (It says in the first post)
This is the 3rd time, same EXACT scenario... To the TEE...

(And this time I wasn't low on gas, just the 2 previous times)

iceman21_23 · 02-13-2013, 02:43 AM

its late!!! lol reading comprehension is out the window

I'm betting crank position sensor

pretty cheap part and easy swap to see if it addresses the issue

So, I am 100% clueless on the Crank Positioning sensor... Should I take my Stillen Crank Pulley off if I want to go to the dealer to have them warranty it out?

Sounds like a ford

Check for Vacuum leaks as it controls your fuel pressure. Is the car tuned at all? Any codes? (even if the light is not on there can be codes stored in the ECU).

No señor, no tune otherwise my tuner would have an earful.
And I'll plug my OBD2 sensor in it to see if I can get anything

DEpointfive0 · 02-13-2013, 12:50 PM

So, no CEL or codes of any way...

What should I be looking for on my OBD2 scanner (it has live view) when I start up the car

Mitco39 · 02-13-2013, 02:22 PM

Can you see fuel pressure? If so take a look at that and see if it fluctuates, you could also look at your short term trims to see what the engine is doing as far as fueling goes.

Wabbyyy · 02-13-2013, 03:06 PM

Same thing happened to mine. I left it overnight and it started normally the next day. I was gonna get it towed to the dealer the next day.

omm370z · 02-13-2013, 03:52 PM

Starting the car with delay can be the throttle body or a camshaft sensor. I don't know im just reading above.

On my old 350z i had problems with my started, throttle body and camshaft sensor. I replaced them and that was the solution. Now and of course it had a key but in the 370z you push a button. Hope you resolve all with the smurf.
