Infiniti I30, is it a fuel problem or an alarm problem

[bwgault03]

I have a 1999 Infiniti I30 and I was going to warm it up this morning so I could go to work and after running for about two or three min, it stalled out. I tried to restart it and the engine will turn over but it will stall out after a few seconds. Also, when I turn the key to start the engine, it will start for a few seconds before stalling out, but if I press the gas peddle at all, it will die as soon as I press on the gas. It has gas in the tank and nothing new has been done to in in the past few weeks... anyone have any clue what I should do next in trying to diagnose this problem?

Sounds like it's a fuel flow issue. How many miles are on it? If it's a lot and the fuel filter hasn't been changed, I would start there since it's somewhat cheap and easy to do.

About 180,000 miles and I tried replacing the fuel filter with no luck. I added about five gallons of gas to the tank and did a basic tune up, again with no luck or change...

When you say basic tune up, what did you do?

[bwgault03]

Changed the spark plugs, changed the oil, changed the air filter and fuel filter.

You may have a failing fuel pump or faulty fuse/wiring. Set Ignition Switch to ON (do not start). You should be able to hwar the pump humming for about 5 seconds then shut down (pump is located in the tank and is accessible from the rear seat. You can also check the fuel pressure- 34 PSi with engine running, 43 psi with engine off (Ignition ON). You need to connect a fuel pressure gauge between the fuel filter and the fuel rail
