Hello Board,If anybody can please help it will be much appreciated. I drive a 1990 q45 infiniti with 230,000miles. I have had it for the last 30,000 miles and had absoulty no problems with the car. But that all changed today. I started up my car and about 3 seconds later it turned off. Then I went to restart it and it would not start back up again, there is this werid sound when starting. Its kind of a swooshing sound. At first i thought it might of been an igintion problem but the ignition works fine. Also i Have checked all fuses and the car still does not run. IF any body has some information as to how I can fix my car i would be very grateful. Thanks,Carmen

What is fuel pressure? in psi after filter entering rail.Have you spent the required $3,000-$4,500 in the previous 30,000 miles for maintenance and repairs?

Best to get it flat bedded to dealer for the news.
