My Nissan 350z suddenly quit running as if it had run out of gas. I put more fuel into the car, but it still would not start. I thought the problem might be fuel delivery so I replaced the fuel pump. The car still would not start. I installed a new battery; the starter turns the engine over, but the car still will not start. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Rather than continue to replace parts that may not be bad, just get the car to a mechanic for a correct diagnosis.

OP, your problems solving skills are clearly no better than your linguistic skills.

Throwing random parts at a car is not going to solve much.

1. Ran out of gas. - CHECK!
2. Bought parts that are most-likely not the problem. - CHECK!
3. Typed a message that no one understood on this forum. - CHECK!
4. What's next?


Easily turn the key to operate and turn off all accessories in the car. Once everything is off, Turn the key to off and back on to operate. You should hear it go "PPSSSTT". That is the fuel pump priming the system. Repeat it 3 times. After that, try to start the car. Let it crack for about 3 seconds and it should start. If it doesn't, wait 15-30 seconds and retry it. If it doesn't start after attempting over a 3-5 minute time span, you will need to have to have the system bled so it will need to go to a mechanic.

Since you had so much trouble with everything so far, maybe you should simply just take it to the mechanic.

I wonder if he actually ran out of gas? Can the OP answer the question, was it 20 gallons to fill the car?

I bet it is a different problem, a problem we will not be able to diag unless the OP suddenly uses an education above 4th grade.

I also doubt he ran the tank dry. The car quit running and he added fuel. When the car wouldn’t start, he replaced the fuel pump thinking the car wasn’t delivering fuel to the cylinders ( I guess.). When the car still did not start, he replaced the battery ( Not sure why he did this.).

The problem is either no fuel mixture in the cylinders and/or no spark.

I’m afraid to say any more than this fearing that I could stimulate another buying spree of unneeded parts.
