300ZX wont start, Check battery, starter, fuses and relays, spark plugs, all seem to be working fine....Secuirty light keeps flashing on and off even when i shut the door. i tried resetting it or make it go off but no luck. car wont crank or start, only the dash lights come on and headlights etc. This happen one day and i was stranded, i tried tapping on the starter while someone tried cranking it and it worked but dont know it was just a coincidence. when i got home it didnt want to turn off when i tuned the key to turn off the car. i believe im getting fuel cuz i can smell gas just not spark..... Please help pretty stumped on it. thanks....
The car seems to have functioning parts but it is probably a wiring issue - have you done a heater core replacement or anything under the dash/hood in a while (other than "tapping on the starter" <-- which you shouldnt do by the way)
what year is it??
if it is a 1990 the car has a plug undone under the driver side steering column on the "security" and "ignition" wiring circuit - read your FSM (factory service manual) and diagnose the problem. it is definately a short somewhere!
Dont worry about responding - I wont provide any more support - what you did is distasteful - dont come asking for help and then when your told advice you rebuttle everything.
Average teenager imo. suggested tag ban
"if it is a 1990 the car has a plug undone under the driver side steering column on the "security" and "ignition" wiring circuit - read your FSM (factory service manual) and diagnose the problem. it is definately a short somewhere!"
Read what i said, its a wiring short. This is a place for people actually trying to fix their problems not "what could it be" if your not gonna atleast try, maybe you should sell your car and buy something with a Dealer warranty for your lifetime.
Seriously, grow up dude, i provide help and you provide disrespect - your a wanna-be
Here is what you checked:
Check battery, starter, fuses and relays, spark plugs
Here is what you havent!
Wiring Harness, ecu, injectors, distributor, coil, distributor rotor, cam shaft, timing belt, fuel filter, fuel pump,
The information you provided means nothing, its not about what you have checked - its about the symptoms. And this statement:
"Secuirty light keeps flashing on and off even when i shut the door."
Means nothing - the 300zx has a standard security system that will always flash - hence the reason for the light - so it scares off potential theives.
Your a disrespectful punk, get a book and do it on your own.
"the grounds look like they are good but just can find the short or whats not causing it not to start help will be appreciated thanks!!!!"
Neither can anyone on the web - You, a complete IDIOT of a mechanic, have to search for the short by using either a test light (if you know what that is, or how to use it) or a voltometer to find the short.
Man dude, your really ******* dense, ya know that? Seriously - generic help.. yeah thats why i've rebuilt more 300zx's than how many pennys you have in the bank. If you came to my shop i would laugh at you and send you packing because it would be a waste of my time to take your money for a ground problem as simple as that.
Take appreciation in your own car and find the ******* problem using a FSM and a voltometer.
K thx

The help your going to get
,,i,, <-- a middle finger
My help:
Quit posting, you know the problem, finding a solution isnt going to come from the web, every car is different - oh by the way... your STILL talking mad ****, so being as this is now a flame section-
Quit posting incomplete sentences, You have completely dumb-founded me, im suprised you have been able to check the battery "Oh my god! Pleesh helb me cuz i can find a battery" <-- aka you = a wanna be. You have done nothing but pissed me off, so in return im here to make sure that this page is completely flooded with helpful information that you dont want to use. That way, when someone comes in here and goes "take 1 step to the front of the car from the drivers door, look down 7'', put hand behind tire and feel for a blue wire" you wont be able to find it. Don't worry, im doing your forgetful *** a favor. THIS IS THE INTERNET! We dont see or hear anything about what your doing to your car other than what you say you do.
SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here:
Lets have you walk in to a professional auto shop in your town and say the following:
"My name is (your name here), i own a 300zx but i dont know the year of it, the check engine light keeps coming on and off like it should - but now my car wont start, i hit the starter repeatedly and it worked for a day. After that it didnt, so i checked the Checked battery, starter, fuses and relays, and the spark plugs but i cant find whats wrong. So - heres $ 10.00 with your god-like abilities, tell me what to do to fix this problems. See into my mind and know what is wrong with my car"
... OMG wow you read all that, atleast you graduated kindergarden... mad props - now go work on your car rather than wasting your time looking for an answer you wont get
This happened to me and I remembered reading something in the owners manual about
resetting or disarming the alarm and so I got out of the car, shut the door and used my key
to re-open the door (the door was already unlocked) but using the key in the door is what reset
my car and I started it up no problem after that.
