2002 maxima, auto-6spd

the transmission is in and the engine cranks fine, but wont start. compression is ok, fuel pressure is good, but does not spark. anybody have any ideas for getting spark? all of the connections are hooked up and it seems ready to go, just wont spark.

 

Is the crank pos. sensor between the engine and tranny reading the flywheel teeth okay?

 

cps is same for both man and auto and it is signaling

 

I know that.... My question was, was it reading the flywheel okay..

 

well, we took a voltage reading and it was sending a signal to the computer, and you cant really put the flywheel on wrong. unless the sensor could send wacky signals i think its ok. i wanted to know about the computer really. does it need the manual computer?

 

Check for a CEL.

What ecu?

 

was trying it with the auto ECU, but now we are putting in the manual ECU to see. the dealership is retarded and doesnt understand that i want them to program the immobilizer and not just the key. hopefully the ECU will fix it.

Im pretty sure there arent any codes.

 

.............

 

Check the codes anyways

Also, does a green key stay on while starting? How about the red security light?

 

where is the green key i should be looking for? ill have to look at the security light also

 

Hehe, I don;t think Maxima's have the "green key" My bad.

 

The murano has that.

 

so the security light stays on? not flashing but solid light?

 

Yeah solid. I think

 

The security indicator is located on the instrument panel. The indicator
blinks when the ignition switch is in “OFF” or “ACC” position.
Therefore, NVIS (NATS) warns outsiders that the vehicle is
equipped with the anti-theft system.


I. --When NVIS (NATS) detects trouble, the security indicator lamp
lights up while ignition switch is in “ON” position.
This lighting up indicates that the anti-theft is not functioning,
so prompt service is required.

 

ok, ill check that
