the oil light is based on pressure not level so if you were three quarts down there was still a half a gallon of oil in the motor so so long as you werent tracking it you are probably fine yet. now if your alternator/or battery are going or you have a code for a crank or cam sensor being thrown that would explain why it isn't starting. I can't help you figure out what is wrong until i know if there are codes or if the battery is to low to start it. The battery has to supply almost 400 amps to start the car and power the ignition and fuel pump and if it is run down it may need a charge and then to have an auto parts store check the battery and alternators condition.

If you had siezed the motor it wouldn't crank over right now or it would be making one hell of a noise

Here are the scanned codes

1st code i got was the camshaft sensor

second was the fuel


I can hear fuel pump turn on, battery gauge at 14

ignore the afr code for now the cmps is why it's not starting, get yourself a 10mm wrench and pull the passenger side cam sensor and post a picture of the tip of it.

it looks just like this one but is on the passenger side, it is the black plastic sensor sticking out of the side of the bump on the front cover

What happens is you can get a layer of wear metal stuck to the magnet on the end of sensor and it cant pick up them cam wheel, so long as the tip is clean and not scratched or chipped it should work unless the sensor is burned out, a wire is loose, or the battery is dead

If u clean it charge the car and it still wont start take both cam sensors out clean them and flip them so they are on the other side and see if the code moves to the other bank

kholy 08-02-2014 09:35 AM

1slow370 08-04-2014 12:22 PM

any update? Did you end up taking it to the dealer?

RonRizz 08-06-2014 05:21 PM

Update????

1slow370 08-06-2014 07:13 PM

Oh and don't tell the dealer **** about what happened let them figure it out, otherwise they will try to get you for **** that isn't broken just because you assume it is damaged.

Any updates on this??

kholy 08-11-2014 11:04 AM

Its at dealer... Engine has low compression. They mention I still have power train warranty however my last documented oil change was 8k miles ago so he says Nissan won't cover due to that. Quoting me that new engine would be 7500 just for engine.I am speechless right now... As it seems my fault for forgetting about oil but I can't afford to get it replaced. Any suggestions on what I could do?
