Starting problem No fuel
Hello everyone,
Thanks for the wealth of info here. I just purchased a 2001 nissan maxima se auto. The car was not running when I bought it. I have been checking it out and it seem its not getting fuel. I could hear the fuel pump come on when key is in the on position. I puled the plugs and they are dry as a bone. I sprayed starting fluid in the throttle body and it will start but cuts out as soon as I stop spraying.
After doing all this I went ahead and put in a new fuel pump. I am still getting the same issue as before but now when in the on position it sounds like the fuel pump just keeps running. I am out of ideas what it could be. Why would I not be getting gas into the cylinders if the fuel pump is running?
Thanks for the help in advance and thanks for letting me be a part of your forum.

So After reading a bunch more stuff. It seems Like it might be a NATS Issue. Security light is solid red by the clock. How do I know for sure? Also do I have to take it to the dealer to have them fix it or can a lock smith or myself do something like this?

Check all fuses and relays...sometimess when i disconnect my battery my sec light stays red and she still starts.
check all fuses under hood and under dash. if all good call locksmith probably the transponder went out few ppl went thru this same year like $200 fix with key.
May need to replace Transponder its cheap then call locksmith.

I called a locksmith out last night and he said his computers would not communicate with the ecm and that the ecm is more than likely bad. I am going to check all the fuses and if they are good I guess I have to find a used ecm. what years can I use and does it have to be from a auto car?
