hi guy my 2000 gle wont start, it sound like we wants but it just wont,i just replace the fuel pump, and nothing and had another post and a lot of people say that it my be the crank position sensor, or a sensor on the top ofthe gas pedal, i mean it sound like is not getting enough gas, it started just having problems i would step on the gas and everything was fine i would also hear a loud noise coming from the back of the car, but i think is totally unrelate.how can i check if the sensor just need cleaning or something else.

 

Did you replace the fuel pump and the car would not start immediately after that?

If the crankshaft sensors are a problem, you can try cleaning them. But cleaning is does not usually solve a sensor problem.

You need to determine if you have a no gas situation or a no spark situation. Then we can start to zero in on the cause of the problem.

If you want to down load the Nissan service manual (FSM), go to:

However, since you have a 2000, you need to get the correct manual. There are 2.

Look at your VIN number. If the last 8 digits are equal to or higher than YT012237 or YT211681 or YT527430 or YT740492, then download the 2000.5 manual. Otherwise download the 2000 manual.

 

The crank or cam sensor will throw a code, If it's one of those though the car will start after turning it over for a little while, and you can take it to get read, and you car might shut off in the middle of driving after a couple minutes but just start it back up and it should run fine until you shut it back off.

 

Or it could the starter, even though it turns over still.

 

already check the fuel lines and it getting enough fuel, sparks plugs work fine and cps works too.i have a friend check it and it say that maybe the exhaust pipe is clog up, what do u think guys

 

I think dont try to start your car if that is a possibility

 

What was your reasoning in replacing the fuel pump? Were you having other, unrelated issues?

By chance is it is throwing any engine codes?

 

no codes only misfire other then that no codes,

 

A misfire code? Or car is misfiring with no codes?

 

no codes what so ever, im really confused i dont know what to do i guess i going to take it to a shop to get ir fix

 

it could be fuel filter have u checked that yet?

 

my reason to change the fuel pump was that went u turn the key on ON u couldnt hear working and i thought i was dead maybe it was but it seen that this wasnt the problem.

 

how do u check the fuel filter i pulled the fuel pump and stainer, i dont know where the fuel filter is, i know is in the gas tank

 

Fuel strainer = fuel filter in our cars. Did you replace the strainer/filter? It is hard to tell if it is good or bad. Most people replace them every so often even though Nissan says they are a lifetime part. I've replaced mine two times over 236,000 miles.

 

yeah i replace it just in case u never know and its getting enough was, like a say im going with the exhausted because i remember that it was really loud and now i feel little air coming out of it

 

whats the word on your starter?
