Need help! I was driving and the car shut off. All lights are on and crank and cams are moving. I have changed the crank sensor and ignition amp. I can not hear the fuel pump run but it is getting fuel. I have ohm check the coil packs and are good. I have not check the ecu code yet. Can anyone help? Thanks, Trev

same goes for mine, i got told it could b the crank angle sensor or the igniter module,

Can an Auto Electrician, diagnose what it is for me?

Buying a CAS and/or igniter seems a little bit pricey if it turns out i dont need them!

Cheers

Was not the CAS of igniter. I tryed coilpacks, coilpack harness, AFM, all the ign relay, shot wires, and fuel pump because, I can not hear it prime the system. I have checked the vac. lines and fuses. Going have it towed to garage that a friend toke his GTS-4 too.

I had a cann car to get parts from to troubleshot mine.

lots of stuff changed huh, easier way to check if it was getter fuel would have been disconnect the fuel line goin into the rail and ignition on or crank whichever it needs to get the fuel to come out, SOME systems dont actually prime up on ignition on and require the car to be cranked to get the fuel feed up. Checking coil packs was a little bit of a waste of time cos it will still run if one drops out, just like a dog. But see how u go at the mechanics. Update when u know champ

I will keep all up to date on what I or the garage finds out.

On another note, the car is getting fuel. Tryed the popping the line of and filled the can quickly. My friend and I found there was 2 volts coming out of the igniter amp (the one on the coilpack cover). I am going (I hope!) another igniter amp today. I do not like giving up. Thanks for support!

The car will start with no AFM attached, so it's not necessary to check at all.

How can you be sure it's getting fuel if you can't hear the fuel pump? When you switch the car to "ON" without starting, you should hear the pump prime. If there is nothing, then the pump isn't pumping. You will have fuel in the lines already even with no fuel pressure, so d/c the line and seeing fuel is no way to tell. Get a friend to stick his head in the boot when you switch the car on, he should definitely hear it prime from there. Even the quietest pump will be audible from there (turn your damned stereo off! :D)

You've said there is no spark, well that's definitely one cause of it not starting whether or not the fuel pump is working. If it's not the igniter or CAS, then it could be the ECU not telling the igniter to fire. Try checking all wiring connections and maybe swapping ECU's with a known working one.

You may be getting fuel to the other end but if you don't hear it prime the system then the system won't be pressurised.

Maybe the fuel pump dies as soon as it gets a little bit of load on it.

I can hear my 32 pump prime almost every time I flick the key. Wait a minute or so between priming otherwise the pressure will be there and it wont prime because it doesn't have to.

The gas tank is not getting pressured (taking off the gas cap).

So whats this mean?

Had the auto elec around today on mine but no luck didnt find out what it was, gonna hunt down a CAS & Igniter module.

Trev do u have any interceptors/piggyback comps. hooked up 2 ur computer?

I have an SAFC & ITC these couldnt b causing the problem?

My gas cap for my gas tank is not vented. It helps the pump run with less stress. My tank is not get pressured. I do not know if, the pump is crapped out, the car will not start as a safety reason not to run the car too lean and kill the engine. :Bang:

Fuel is coming of the fuel line but, no audio from the fuel pump. I have alway been able to hear it and get the 5-second prime. My fuel mileage was very good before it stopped running. I had to fill-up once a week. It is quiter than my gt-r pump I had it there. :hellpisd: :cuss:

    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
