Hello.

The car in question is actually my dad's car. He has a 1999 GLE auto. The car has been sitting for nearly 3 weeks because it refuses to start. It turns over fine though. Basically, we thought that the fuel pump went out because we couldn't hear the pump turn on when the car turned on, so we changed it, but it still wouldn't start. We then checked all of the fuses and relays, but they all checked out good. We then checked for spark by pulling a couple of spark plugs and they all checked out good.

This is very frustrating and any help or input would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

that happened to me when i did a engine swap i had to crank the sucker for 2minutes straight but it eventually caught on and fired up but have you checked for fuel yet ?

 

99 models have been known to do crazy things with the immobilizer circuit.

Is the red security lamp LED flashing?

 

Check for codes. And

 

slinky87, I pulled the fuel line off the rail and it was getting gas.

oldngivout, I will take a look at the security light as soon as my dad gets home.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

 

Alright, I just looked at the car and the security light stays on when the key is in the ON position. What exactly does this mean?

 

It means you have to get it towed to a nissan dealership to have all of the key's re-programmed

 

4th gen keys dont have transponders or chips in the keys
heres something to try out pull all security related relay's and fuses from the engine bay. re-install, unlock your door manually with the key and hopefully it'll work for you

 

Try telling that to a 99 owner.

Don't worry though, I have been a few times myself, and I'm sure I will at some point again in the near future, that's what makes the .org great and keeps people on there toes, I swear I learn something about a max every day.

 

no problem here i like it when someonce can correct me if i am wrong on something on to the problem at hand so every max after 99 has transponders?

 

My thoughts exactly, could not have said it any better.

 

Every Max INCLUDING 99 has it.

Oh crap, I meant every Max including 99 and later. I knew better, it just didn't come out right.

 

Everyone has their moments. Who is that in your avatar anyway?

 

Ok people, let's get this straight.

Pre 99 Maximas don not have it. My 95 does not. So, the above statement is false.

 

Thanks for the help. I'll tell him to get it towed to the dealership first thing in the morning.
