04 G35 Coupe clutch/flywheel install no start issue

[devlmaycry]

Ok, I recenty purchased an 04 g35 coupe that the clutch crapped out me after about a week. The throwout bearing shelled on me. So, I ordered a southbend clutch kit with flywheel and took it down to the local shop to install it....

After they put the car back together it cranks over just fine, but won't start. It acts like it wants to start during the first second of cranking then just keeps cranking with no indication of wanting to start. It doesn't seem to be getting spark or fuel after that first second. I know that the battery was disconnected for 3 days while they waited for a new input shaft cover to show up.

Things they've tried and I've suggested after searching:

1. Replace crank sensor since it was covered in shavings from the old clutch
2. Brought my spare key in just in case the one they had magically crapped out
3. Called several shops and southbend. Everyone except southbend said the flywheel was indexed wrong. Of course the shop it's at says they indexed it right....
4. Tried disconnecting the crank sensor and still no start
5. No red security light is on during cranking, supposedly there is no NATS codes, and key fob also still works.
6. Starter fluid won't start the car and there is no gas smell after frequent cranking

So, what else could be wrong with this? It ran when I dropped it off and now doesn't.... I seem to be beating my head against a wall and they are taking their sweet time troubleshooting it.

Well the obvious is something is off with the install. It ran when it was brought in and now magically it won't. I wonder if they some how crossed up harness plugs when putting everything back together.

Yeah just picked it up on Thursday... After me telling them for 3 days its was the flywheel they dropped the trans and found out the excited ring was bent on the flywheel. Flattened it back out and surprise it runs fine now!

Glad they found it!

Everyone learns that these flywheels are indexed in one way or another, there is one spot that looks like it might work but will not.
Glad they found it....despite REALLY not wanting to remove that trans again.

Bent flywheel....lol

You really might want to find a better shop next time.
