2005 350z Starting Problem
Hey everyone,
I've done a bit of searching, and I may have found the answer...
My car has the intermittent starting problem, where the car will crank, but not turn over. This has been more frequent as of late. Sometimes, it takes upto 10 cranks to turn, after removing the key and what not.
If I take the key out, and tap it a few times, it starts during the first or second crank. Is it possible that the transponder inside the key is loose or faulty? I don't have a second key to test this theory.
What I can't understand about the above is that a few members have stated that they can tape the key to the bottom of the steering column, and start the car without a transponder key. This then goes against my solution as it appears that the transponder just needs to be in the same proximity as the ignition.
The fuel pump turns on every single time. The security light does stay solid red when the car doesn't start, and it turns off when it starts.
Your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
