Howdy, I have done some research, but cannot begin to find a solution to this problem...

My girlfriend's daily driver, an Infiniti M30 will not start this morning. It turns over and it's getting fire, but it won't start. It won't even start on starting fluid. And I already checked the timing belt... it's still there. So, any ideas where I can start?

Assuming its the same procedure as the J30 ,When flooded hold the accelerator pedal ALL the way to the floor and crank till it fires.Flooring the pedal before starting tell the ECU to shut off the injectors.Be aware that if the cylinder is full of fuel you have the risk of Hydro locking which will bend rods, Valves ect.

or you can pull the fuse for the injectors under the hood and try spinning it over to clear the cylinders. ive had a starting issue before where car would spin over fine but wouldnt crank. ended up being my cam angle sensor plug came loose since i didnt clip it all the way back on.
