Help! Murano Vs Infinty Fx 35 / VSC Trac, VSC Off And Abs Issue With 2004 Toyota 4runner / Range Rover Sport Vs Infiniti FX 35 (2) (3) (4)
Please Help - Issue With My FX 35 by mrofficial2(m): 10:56pm On Mar 17, 2013 |
Good day cronies, My 2005 Infiniti FX 35 goes off by itself mostly when not in motion. My thought was that the fuel pump was the cause as advised by a mechanic. The problem started when I gave it to a mechanic to help service the fuel meter that wasn't working. After fixing this, he didn't connect back the return fuel pump hose. So yesterday, I took it to a mechanic workshop and the fuel pump was changed with 2 different ones and it was still the same. Also the sound of the engine is usually high that it appears on the acceleratory meter, and also fluctuate, which was never the case before the fuel meter repair. As at now, Service Engine Soon notice is also on. It started a night when I kept starting it as it kept going off immediately after starting. Now in order to avoid another try and error from fixing this car, I want the NL gurus on automobile to help tell what the exact fault is and as well recommend known pro mechanics that can help put this car back in order once and for all within Ibadan and Lagos. Thank you in advance

First of all check your Transponder in the remote key secondly If the car does indeed shut down if the key is removed, I highly doubt it is intentional and bet it is a malfunction or design flaw. I know for a fact the first generation FX continues to run even if the intelligent key is removed from the car and out of range. I highly doubt Infiniti would design the 2nd generation such that it will shut down if the key is removed (or not detected),happen even if it only occurs as the car comes to a stop. |

ericcyder: First of all check your Transponder in the remote key Does the battery in the remote key works with the transponder? Just today, the lock/unlock buttons failed to work when I tried to lock the car. I kept pressing it that after much trials I left the car unlocked. After sometime, I tried it again and it worked which was never the case before. Also, the car is not a keyless start, does it have anything to do with the remote key? Thank you, |

Seun.A.Plonker: get the car scanned then we will work from the code also ask what the 1st mechanic did the fuel pump has a filter if he throw away the filter and put back the pump it might block if there is dirty in the tank |

Do not do anything else until you scan the car. Then post the codes here |

biggiyke: have you resolved the issue yet? i drive a 2008 fx35 & im very much interested in this. I'm yet to fix the car because I'm currently in Ibadan and do not want to give the car to a roadside mechanic to avoid complications. As it is now, it's getting worse. Just this night, I tried to drive it and it kept switching off subsequently on starting, right inside the compound. I've changed the airflow meter as advised by a NairaLander. |

In addition, I've noticed that the car goes off when driving on a sloppy road, facing upward. Note, it's not the issue of petrol. If you live in Ibadan, you know how sloppy the roads are. |

Was dis evr resolved. Some of us will like to know and learn |
Re: Please Help - Issue With My FX 35 by earthrealm(m): 8:36am On Jul 16, 2013 |
my guess wud be that the mechanic removed the filter and threw it away...now dirt has entered ur fuel lines/injectors..partially blocking it and starving the engine of fuel.... scan the car lets see the code...though I think the service engine/maintainace required light is a reminder to change the engine oil |

Hey, Hopefully this can help you out. Before you go dumping a lot of money into the car, take the hose off from your air filter to your throttle body, look at the throttle body and see if it is clean. If it is not take the throttle body off and get some brake cleaner or something along those lines and clean it up. Also, along with that, i would suggest you change your fuel filter as well to make sure your fuel lines are clogged. In all this should cost less depending on what a new fuel filter cost. Some times serious problems can be fixed pretty cheap and easy |

mrofficial2: The IDE set also known as transponder has no business with the keyless entry remote battery. It is a very low magnetic independent chip. |
