HI, I have a 1996 Infiniti I30, I have been having problems with my Infiniti. I got some bad gas and I have since put 93 grade in and a gas treatment and moisture treatment, I have had my fuel injectors cleaned and a new battery. I have been experiencing pinging and my car will start then it loses power and stalls. I have to let my car "warm up" for 5 mins. Sometimes it stills stalls or shuts off. All the warning lights come on, this has happened in the middle of traffic during rush hour. When I turn it off it still pings. Any suggestions on how I correct this problem?

I recently sought to replace the brake pads on my 2000 Infinity I30. The front brakes went on fine. The back brakes however are another question. I found it impossible to compress the piston in the caliper. I loosened the brake fluid, bleeder valve but this did not allow compression. I am wondering why. Three possibilities occur to me. First that the caliper is defective and needs replacement. Second, perhaps the anti-lock system has something to do with it, or third the piston actually screws back in and can not be simple pressed back into place. Can anyone help me?

It sounds like your timing is off! Also, have your mass air flow sensor checked! I have a 2000 I30 and it had similar problems and it was the mass air flow sensor.
As far as it still pinging when you shut if off sounds like the timing!
Good Luck~

the piston needs to be turned and pressed in at the same time. You can buy the tool to do this at any auto parts store. Its just a cube looking thing that goes on a racthet. Its cost about $10-15 bucks.

I have infiniti I30, 97 with 152k miles...I have read the furum and it seems like most infinitis have the same problem. My infiniti runs fine like others but one problem that annoys me the most is when i drive for a while, the brake sign and battery signs goes on and off and at the same time my bose sound system shuts down; however, when i keep the stario off for a minute and trun back on it seems to be fine....after a while it does the same thing...is there anyone who could help me with that???
I changed my alternator, starter and now they are telling me to change the ignition...I am totally confused about this problem...

I just replaced rear break pads for a 1999 Infiniti I30. Pep Boys had what I needed in stock. I'm not sure if the part # is the same for a 2001 I30 but the # was PR540-C ceramic pads.
Go to Pep boys.com for a complete listing of parts.

main problems of 2000 i30 is the ignition coils and MAF (mass air flow) sensor. After 100,000 km's the ignition coils should be replaced cause its a matter of time before your service light turns on and it has trouble starting up. To check the MAF sensor, drive around gasing up once in a while for 10 mins, if you notice a clinking or pinging type sound from the engine around 2 or 3 rpm when u has it up (but not so fast) then the MAF sensor needs replacing, or turn the car on and once the engine warms up, jam on the gas and see if it picks up speed like normal, if it seems to not gas up right away or make a weird noise, then your MAF isn't telling your engine the right amount of air to use so u need to replace MAF. A bad MAF might even make your car not feel stable on the highway, like if u use cruise control at 100km/h (canadian) u will notice the car seems to gas then let go then gas then let go instead of keeping a constant smooth speed.

its your ignition coils. The p1320 might even say (primary iginition failure), but when i coil dies, they all tend to die so its best to replace them all at once, this costs an arm and a leg. The problem comes after 100,000km's and it makes your dashboard look like a light bright display
