Maxima doesn't start engine! Tried everything...
 
Hi this is a friend's maxima he doesn't know what else to do.

He had an alarm when he bought it 2 years ago. One day it started ringing for no reason and he turned off. He went to a place to take it off. Then the car didn't start. The battery is fine, the alternator is fine, he changed some things for new ones, cables, and so. He algo checked the ECU and it was fine. The car started one time but again it didn't last. The starter works fine, the distribuitor too. The ignition coil is new. Fuel gets fine to the fuel pump. He has spent tons of money and the car doesn't start! What else could it be?
Thanks in advance!

Its like mine, automatic with the VG30E engine.

what happens when you turn the key? nothing?

CaRo Apr 24, 2007 09:23 PM

When he turns the key the starter runs but the engine never starts. I don't know how to say it, my english sucks :(

Like when you've run out of gas. But he has plenty of gas

hmm well the way my car alarm was hooked up. when u remove it it disconnects the on position on the ignition. but still turns over

It's very strange. My friend has been without the car for a month now. and they can't discover what the problem is

i doubt its injectors unless its trying to run but bogs down. i seriously just try to follow the ignition wires to a relay box

Aftermarket alarm?

If so,he might need to remove the alarm system...


If it's a malfuntioning factory alarm system,you can unplug the control box..

since you said he had the alarm removed. I'd look for wires that weren't reconnected or are just a bad connection.
I've seen some "interesting" alarm installs in my time.

try fuel, I'd start with checking fuel pressure.

Whats happening is the alarm, or bad wiring is telling the ecu to not fire the engine, its not a fuel pump problem, its the shady install/removal thats the issue.
