Car won't start all of a sudden. plz help

[Plattq45]

Hi, plz help me!!!i have a 97' q45, w/ 105k miles. Yesterday it was all fine and then i drove home from work and a couple hours later i try to start the car and it won't start. Engine turns, but won't start. i checked all the fuses (fuel pump) and nothing is burnt.

So my question is that does anyone know what might be the problem?

and my 2nd question is that, have anyone try to start the car with a KEY that hasn't been program by the dealer yet?what happen when you turn and try to start the car? will the engine turns at all and/or any power being produce but just won't start? *** Reason im asking this is because i just had an Viper remote starter alarm installed in my car (4 weeks) and to be able to remote start it i had to go to the dealer and get another KEY made (programed) so they can install the second key in my ignition and leave it there so it can be bypass and so I can start it with the alarm remote. IM just trying to figure if the problem is my car or the Alarm and then try to figure more from there.

had anyone try to start the car with an unprogrammed chip (key) before? or this could just be something messed up in my engine (fuels or spark plugs).

thanks for any help in advance.

Might be worth downloading your factory service manual at http://www.infiniti-techinfo.com as a .pdf. It takes a while, but well worth it. It'll be the best $20 you ever spent.

Hopefully the newer "protected" design of the fuel pump controller saved it. How many miles on your Q?

105k

could it just be the relay? any better way i can test the fuel pumpor the fuel controller?

there isn't any fuel being pump to the fuel filter so my best guess is something dealing with fuels in the back trunk.

Once you get the service manual you can figure out which wires on the pump harness go to the pump and you can either jump the pump with a 12v source or measure voltage with a multimeter.A lot of alarms have a fuel pump kill...make sure this isn't the problem.

i just paid 20 bucks for 1 day online subscriptions, but couldn't figure out how to use the service manual or couldn't get to it.any idea?

You click on the individual sections, and then you have to open and save them. VERY time consuming, I wish you could just do mass downloads... But Im not complaining.

Explore the site and follow the links. Each section of the manual is its own PDF file and needs to be in its own folder for the manual. Get the wiring diagrams also.

Then get each TSB as each one is a pdf (Acrobat) file.

Navigating the site really requires its own tutorial as it is not intuitively obvious until you get the hang of downloading the necessary files.

Use the GNU web-get program from the Free Software Foundation.

Using 'wget', you can download every PDF in a entire web site, or mirror the complete site, or get whatever you want. It handles everything, including passwords, robot files, lists of web sites, multiple levels of hierarchy, etc.

I use wget v1.9.1 all the time in my new job to back up internal web pages and to find outdated links in external web pages automatically.

Pick up Windows pre-compiled binaries at http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html

The Windows wget syntax is simple:Start ... Run ... cmd ... wget -prA.pdf http://domain/site/page.html

Using wget, you automate what would otherwise be done by hand.

Pretty geeky, but a valuable contribution. Thanks.

I wonder how it will work with password protected sites? Is there a command sequence for entering user/account name and passwords?

According to those urls above, the syntax to supply the user name and password is:wget --http-user=username --http-passwd=password -B https://some.website.comOf course, for FTP sites, the username and password are part of the normal URL as in:wget –mirror –w 3 –p –P c:\wget_files\example2 http://ftp://username:[email protected]
