05 DE wont start
had the car since 2012; moved north and prked her and got truck for work, rarely drove the z but started her up every week or so. Travel in november left the z for 2 weeks + first frost. Car wouldnt start and was having a harder time starting prior to this. Wouldnt crank fast emough and got a battery charger and started it up and ran without the charger. one week later it wouldnt start and wouldnt crank. Replaced battery and spark plugs as it was time for them as well. Turns over great but wont fire now. i used ngk iridium plugs i got from autozone.double checked fitting of plugs found oil in cylinder 6( closest to passenger seat). cleaned boot and plug- retried with the old plug in cylinder 6 which didnt actually look as bad as i thought they would. Still nothing. replaced crank angle sensor back in 2014 and engine has no codes. I may put old plugs back in tomorrow stumped please help Edit: is it possible either cam pos sensor can go bad without throwing a code? |
Changing out plugs should be pretty straight forward if you do them one at a time. It's always good to check gap. I wouldn't suggest putting old plugs with >80k back in. Most likely something was moved/removed and not reinstalled correctly. Check all wiring, vacuum hoses and intake (incl) hose underneath. If more than 1 coilpack was dc at a time, ck for correct connection.
It's usually something simple unless the MAF or TB was interfered with or the gas is super old. gl! |
Update: read more diagnostic threads on here. The red security light in my dash is constantly on when key is in the most fowads position. at one point i tried to start last week with low battery and it completely shut down. Im guessing nissan immobilizer kicked in especially since the red security light is constantly on. I tried re-inserting key into ignition and flipping the key over, nothing tried steering wheel lock and unlock with ignition key, nada tried-locking/ unlocking car from outiside multiple times before attempt to start, nada any help on removing the immobilizer if that is what my issue is? |
So I thought my car only had 1 key but tracked down the original key when I was home for Christmas ( was a family car). Started right up...
So yeah I got very lucky but this is solved: Key not recognized |
