Noob needs help with starting
Which grommet specifically? Can you post a picture? The only large grommet in the firewall next to the battery that I can recall is the main wire harness for the entire engine bay. It passes through and plugs straight into the PCM mounted under the passenger side airbag.

Ahh yes, I see the hole you're talking about. Ok, different from what I was thinking. I don't recall if there's supposed to be a hole in the firewall there or not. If that is factory, then there should be a plug in it to keep water out. I'm wondering if someone drilled the hole for an aftermarket stereo install.

So I bought a 04 350Z from a friend it had been sitting for 2 years. the inside was covered with mold not sure where it's leaking from. But that's the least of my problems. I can't get it to start. So far I've replaced the battery with a brand new one replaced all the spark plugs new air filter. It cranks but does not fire. I also noticed that my snap-on Solus edge diagnostic tool will not connect to the OBD2 port I also try to cheaper OBD scanner and it would not connect either they both just say no connection. My first thought was fuel so I removed the fuel pump and tested it with a small motorcycle battery and some jumpers and it turned on and it spit fuel out. then I blew the fuel line out from the tank into a bucket in the engine bay after disconnecting the fuel rail. After reconnecting the pump I turned the key on and waited for fuel to come out but nothing happened.... So I guess Im not getting power to the pump. I checked all my fuses and even switched the pump relay but still nothing. Any ideas would be appreciated. I also removed the air filter and tried a 3second burst of starting fluid in the intake but no start...

Update
It started! I just had to buy a new ipdm and find a parts car to salvage plugs off of cuz my terminals were corroded. As soon as I plugged in the new ipdm it fired right up fuel pump worked everything was fixed. I downloaded a wiring schematic and found out that the plug with the corroded pins the three pins that were corroded were two for the ECU and one of them was a ground
