240 slide-ride , the crank sensor isnt going to make any noise unless its hitting the flywheel and it wont live long like that!

it was flashing a code 55

when i did drive the car last time it ran it would randomly come on and shut off along with the led light on ecu, or it would just stay on for a bit

Thanks for your help sx moneypit. It was one of the relays next to my ECU that was buzzing. I'm going to go and get a new one right now.

You wouldn't happen to know what that relay goes to exactly. I went to a bunch of automotive stores and they said they couldn't help me unless I found out what in went to. You know, like if it was a starter relay or ignition relay, ect.

Nissan calls it the eccs relay,it is the power relay for the ecm.It might be a dealer item only.You might want to try the boneyard, most of them will just about give them away.

What is your fuel pressure reading? Alldata calls for 34psi.Are you sure the buzzing is from the pump?Is coming from the gas tank?

i wish i could tell you currently i dont have a pressure tester, could possibly a bad regulator or a bad crank position sensor cause this? also my compression is a bit low but i was told that could be bc of my cylinders flooding out but idk about that

Your compression is probably low because your cylinders are washed down.Are you getting spark? Does your check engine light come on key on engine off?In other words is the ecm powering up?

ok i dont know about the buzzing but someone mentioned wetplugs and mis firing............. take your injectors out of the rail.................look at the bottom o-rings........if they are damaged at all..............replace them..............you can get them at any rubber/gasket place like bowling green rubber, or a fastenall............. this will cause the cylinder to flood at low rpm's if its damaged. if the litle plastic piece on the bottom of the injector is damaged, it will cause fuel to spray on the plug and foul it out....... mostly at high rpm's..........when you put your injectors back in, put some vaseline on the o-rings and the inside of the rail so it wont damage them again..........and pop them in using a sorta twisting turning motion and make sure they are snug before you put the caps onthem........dont use the caps to press them in of you will have bad luck. hope this helps you at all

Ok, I found out that the ECCS relay is tied into the EGI, which has a 7.5A fuse under the engine bay that keeps on blowing whenever I turn the key forward. What does it mean when a fuse keeps on blowing like that.

Doya ,if the fuse keeps blowing like that ,you have something that is shorted to ground (injector, sensors or wiring) could even be the ecm.
