Starts once but wont again for awhile

[clever240sx]

Well it was my first start up and it fired right up and i shut it off and then tried again and it just cranked and the fuel pump wouldnt kick on. I left it for a few hours and then it started right back up and then nothing again after i shut it off.Im thinking a bad ground somewhere but WHERE? Anyone know anything about this?

mine did the same thing. try starting it with the pedal floored after you turn it off or turn down the fuel pressure.

Well i cant hear the fuel pump prime at all. But if i leave it set for like 5 hours and get back in, it primes and starts but when i shut it off and try starting again it only cranks...

yea mine was doing the exact same thing. i think it was flooding out. try flooring the pedal when you start it for the second time and see what happens. if it works just turn down the fuel pressure. it took me like three months and 1000 to figure mine. cause i replaced everything from greddy manifold to iacv, fuel pump, fuel filter,nismo fpr. it didnt change till i turned the fuel pressure down.

I really dont think its a fuel pressure problem. I can hear the fuel pump kick on at first but when i shut it off and turn the key again theres no fuel pump...

okay i am just saying that was what i did. trying never hurt.

ok, heres what you do: pull the little black fuse box apart where the fuel relay is next to the battery. underneath that relay there are wires, check with the fsm to make sure which wires are connected where. i finally figured out why mine wouldn't start, it would do the same thing yours is doing currently. checked continuity between terminals like you're told to do in the fsm and noticed my ground wire didn't seem to ground. i found the ground wire out under the relay and clipped it then soldered another wire to it and bolted it to the body on the wheel housing. started right up. you probably have a bad ground like i did. good luck!
