l ong story short - car wouldn't start after sitting for about 4 days. I gets this a lot so nothing unusual in run frequency.

No prior problems, except for the hiccup at idle that so many Y33's have. I was going to get the injectors cleaned next week. All new filters and no CELs ever. Fuel pump is quiet as well. 97K on this '99 model. Fuel was down to 1/8 tank so my only other suspicion was that someone stole the fuel in it, but there was vapor pressure when I unscrewed the cap. car turns over fine but won't catch. Any ideas appreciated!Thanks in advance,Billy

Run a can of ISO_HEET no matter what in next tank.

Always store with as full a tnk as possible to minimize condensation. May not be your problem now, but will lead to problems later.

It was the fuel pump, didn't run loud or anything, just quit. Oh well, something to keep me busy this weekend..... and I think I'll take it down to the infiniti dealership and let them do an injector cleaning soon also - thanks for the reply as I realize my problem was kind of vague
