M35 Won't Start

[pbk1776]

Hi everyone

Just happened today - I moved the stag early this morning out from the garage no issue- got back home this Arvo to move it back the stag won't start it's revving but just won't go, it's like it's chocking thats the way I will describe it. Even applying gas when starting just revs that sounded its chocking and won't go.

Any thoughts? Or this happened to anyone?

Thanks

May have fouled the plugs just moving it out and turning it off. Does it try to start, splutters and dies or just no kick whatsoever?

You may try to put a booster pack on the battery for a bit extra juice when cranking. But please note - the starters don't like being cranked for a long time. They heat up and burn out quick.

Sounds like afm might be playing up. Disconnected it, if it idles and drives better under 2000 rpm id say you have found the issue.

Give it a clean with contact cleaner, if that's doesn't sort it, it may be time for a new afm.

leaky or split cooler piping?

[pbk1776]

Ok - it started for me after leaving it a while - drove it a for a good 1 hour, nothing seems different. I'll check it again before I go to bed if not until tomorrow mornjng

as mentioned, AFM could be on the way out.

and like scotty said, check ALL the piping. make sure there are no splits and hoses are on correctly and done up tight

started this morning happened again but not as bad - hoses are fine too

How long is it since you did a set of plugs on it?

Passenger side cam sensor.....it doesn't always throw up an error

Ahh, your old nemesis?

[pbk1776]

Plugs? I don't think I've changed them yet - if is is the what jet wreck is saying, what is the fix?

The car cranks but just won't stay alive

[zei20l]

replace it!

if no error is appearing, craig may be right. check the cam and crank angle sensors. there are several sets floating around if you need spares

[pbk1776]

cool thanks everyone, I will get this sorted out during the week - i will post what causing it and what fix

The other thing to check is the ECCS fuse in the fuse box in the engine bay.

Is your fuel pump running?

[pbk1776]

Yeh I can hear the pump priming

I know this is a majorly old thread but need help were is this eccs fuse ??????????? i no the fuse in the engine next to bateery but what one is it ?? also is that what controls the fuel pump ??

My stagea would some times no start then would eventyaly start noow it wont start at all so i replaced the crank angle thinking it was that but well its not still wont start.

[Brick]

If you have intermittent issues it won't be a fuse

[Ke55pig]

Thats wat i would of thought but just a thought

[scotty nm35]

Can be cam sensors, which are more important than crank sensors when it comes to the engine starting. Have you tried unplugging the crank sensor? It should still start if the cam sensors are ok.

Probably best you get it on a Consult 3 if possible, just to check for logged fault codes, before swapping out good sensors.

[Ke55pig]

Ahk i though wouldnt start with out crank angle Ive put brand new one in so its not that .If its the cam sensors i hope its only passenger as i cant get to the drivers one. Yea may have to open me pockets and take it to nissan I guess was trying to avoid it lol
