#330 of 559 2001 I30 replacement rear brakes by maddoke Nov 29, 2007 (6:25 am)
replaced brakes with new infiniti pads at 70,000. Front pads were the same but rear were changed due to my Vin#. some spacer clips were attached toward rear of old brakes but the new pads seemed a little longer to make up for the difference. "Rattle clips" that were on backside of original brakes were taken off and put on new brakes and installed. Now theres a clanking metal rattle in rear wheels. Front brakes are fine. Infiniti parts says "rattle clips" for rear aren't available to order anymore and weren't included on the replacement pads. They thought maybe the metal on those could be rattling and maybe aren't needed? Also infiniti parts thinks there might be some sort of "spring" that sits on top of the center notch on each pad that holds brakes down tight? could that be it? Need help as now wife wants new car due to the rattling. Brakes work fine. I've taken the wheels off and looked at and seems to look normal but I know nothing!!

Replying to: rvenkat (Sep 25, 2007 1:27 pm) Clean your fuel system and if required change the fuel filter. I was having the same problems. With the above it is working O.K Replies to this message: rvenkat (Dec 03, 2007 11:24 am)

Replying to: annamreddi (Nov 30, 2007 8:28 am) It was the MAF sensor. Drives like new after I got it replaced. I had cleaned the fuel injectors before and it did not help. The manual says the fuel filter is maintenance free and does not have to replaced. I still have the pesky SES light for my rear O2 sensors but they haven't bothered me in 2 years. Not planning to spend $800 to get those changed....
#336 of 559 I30 Won't Start - Fuel Issue? by jat2288 Dec 04, 2007 (5:07 pm)
I have a 99 I30 that cranks but won't start. When it was running, it would start hard but it would eventually turn over. Sometimes it would just crank and crank, then start. Other times it would crank and stall. The car would stall a few times, then start. The check engine light came on and stayed on, so I took it to the shop. They replaced 1 oxygen sensor and added treatment to the fuel system. The issue continued and the check engine light came back on. I took it back to the shop and they replaced the other 2 oxygen sensors. I brought the car home and that was the last time I could get it to start. I checked under the fuel tank and I can hear the fuel pump buzzing, so I think it is operating properly. I checked 3 plugs and they are dry after trying to start the car. I was trying to check the spark, and it shocked the crap out of me so I don't think it's electrical. I replaced the fuel filter and the fuel pressure regulator valve, but no change. The car just cranks over and over again. If I spray starting fluid into the throttle body, the car will attempt to start. When this happens, if I push the gas pedal, the car will rev up to with a high rpm, but then it stalls immediately. Any help would be appreciated.

Replying to: yoopercamp23 (Nov 06, 2007 11:31 am) I don't think it is your tranny, I think you've got a problem with your motor mounts. Overnight your motor sinks down to bind on the shaft slightly, making it hard to get out of park, and second gear is when there is the most torque on the shaft, so it makes the engine jump slightly.Same thing happened to my son's G20. Easy fix with a good jack, just check for excess play and/or wear on the rubber in the mount

Replying to: nyagaka (Nov 28, 2007 10:44 am) Dude, you need your engine overhauled. The metal is coming from the rod bearings, and if you continue to drive it one of them will fail, throwing a rod and rendering your block useless. Surprised your mechanic didn't have an explanation for the metal, they should all know this.
