CAR WOULDN'T START....GOT ANY IDEAS?

[sir_vq]

today as i pulled into a conveinet store and shut my car off it sounded weird. When i came back out to leave...the car wouldnt start after like 10 min it finally did anybody got any ideas what it can be? and what i should do about it or what i should check?

do 350z's have cam or crank sensor prob like the other nissan... i thought it was only the 2.5 that had the problems

Can you describe the events during the restart process? How did the car finally start?

Manual or Auto? If manual, would a rolling push/pop clutch 2gear have worked?

Any codes or CEL/MIL?

the car just keep cranking, i didnt do anything to get it started besides wait about ten minutes for the car to cool down, its a 5spd and na i didnt try to pop the clutch, na no codes or at least i think cause theres no check engine lights

I've had the same problem a few times, I took it into the dealer and they couldn't find anything. So I'm definitely interested in finding out why its doing this too

what year cars are we talking? both 2003's? sir_vq , and Isr

[sir_vq]

I have a 2004 base model, I worked for Nissan for a while and never seen problems with 350's, I talked to my boy I think it might be something to do with the cam and or crank sensors. I like to hear more opinions, and I'll keep you guys updated

ISR how many times did this happen to you? and does i still happen? what were your circumstances surrounding the mishap.Yestersday whenn this happend it was extremly hot and muggy... also i had ac running but i have good habits of not turning off the car with accesorys still on i swear it no good for the car... just trying to narrow it down with what it could have been

[sir_vq]

So I'm back from the dealer and the verdict is... Drum roll please.............. A F***ing nat's code is what it was, all this cause the key is having intermitent trouble, It. Was a real pain inthe u know, but I'm glad it wasn't serious, could have been worse ya know

In total I think it happened to me about 4-5 times over about a year, but knock on wood it hasn't happened in about 6-8 months. I cant really remember any patterns in weather or anything like that, it just seemed to be random occurrences. Basically mine would just crank and crank, and it just seemed like it wasnt getting fuel or spark. Then I'd let it sit for about 10 min and it would start right up like nothing happened. There was one time where my check engine light came on but at the time it seemed unrelated to this problem, I took it to Advanced Auto and had them check it.. I think she said it had something to do with the octane (I ALWAYS use top grade), I put some additive in the tank and it seemed to solve the check engine light. So who knows if that is even related to this problem...
