SunGodRA Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 This has happened to me a few times now, and is getting more frequent. I turn the key, the engine turns over but doesn't start. Even after about 3o seconds of turning over - nothing. If I leave it about 30 seconds and try again it fires first time - Any ideas? I'm not mechanic but if its not firing could it the the plugs/HT leads, or the coil or maybe the ECU?? - please advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 A very difficult problem to isolate without proper equipment. It could be any number of things such as the ignition system, immobiliser, ECU, etc. I would suggest a visit to your stealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi Sungod, it's a pretty common 350 problem. I've had my '04 since brand new, and it did in on day 3, before the aftermarket alarm went in, still does it. Have a nosey around on http://www.my350z.com you'll find heaps of results. Sorry I don't have time to find the appropiate links now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15MNO-Daron Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 hiya.. yep got same problem as u.. it happens more and more these days. I was told that its just the 350z's engine getting flooded... u need to wait about 10 secs and then it starts up fine. I wouldnt worry about it unless it keeps happening everyday.

M13KYF Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 spark plugs possibly need changing. Problem shows up more with the colder weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the aforementioned starting hesitation problem in the first post, I've had this problem with my Z irrespective of air temperature. Summer, when it's like 30 or so degrees and in Winter, when it's cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Is this thread in the right section - the problem is not confined to JDM cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

live2themaxuk Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 clean the throttle body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathys Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Bad fuel? A friend with his 335ci had a similar problem, because he always went to a dodgy little fuel station with cheap fuel. Now he refuels at Total and no problems anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
