Starting problem by sophia087

I have a 1996 Infiniti I30, and lately starting up is a hassle. Sometimes I'll turn the key and once I hear the engine turning over I have to step on the gas pedal to keep it from shutting off. Other times I have to keep trying turning the key as it won't even turn over, then still step on the gas to have it turn on. The lights and radio come on but the car won't. Any ideas as to what it might be?

I have a 96 I30 and I am going through the same issue. I took it to my mechanic and in addition to replacing the struts I also have to replace the lower control arm and sway bar links. That should fix the problem.

It might help/encourage others here to answer if you posted the year of the vehicle.

I'm wondering if you can just take the "skin" or what they call the "fascia" off instead or if the whole dang thing has to come off? Maybe you can get under there and figure that out. Maybe you don't have to take the absorber and reinforcement bar off.

Engine Knocking - loud, started suddenly by tesmithjr

Hello everyone. I went to start my 97' I30 this morning and a loud knocking sound came from right side (left side if you are standing facing engine from front) where the belts are on the left side. Didnt lessen when I revved the engine...it almost sounds like a "flapping knock" but I don't see anything loose but will need to look closer when I get home from work. I am worried this could be a major issue (pistons/rods?) and was wondering if anyone had any ideas what is wrong. I just bought it used at 145,000 last week and engine ran good with no funny sounds up until this morning. I left it parked until I get some idea if driving it it to service could make it worse. Thanks!

It turned out to be Serpentine belt for A/C...$90 repair. No engine issue, thank goodness.

I30 Oxygen sensors by midwestcanuck
Aug 29, 2008 (1:13 pm)

Check engine light on in my 2001, I30 for about a month. Local service spot told me the oxygen sensors ALL need to be replaced and if that doesn't work then 'both' catalytic converters need to be done too. Megabucks.
 
The car only has 45,000 miles. Only symptom other than the light is a slight hesitation when accelerating right after morning start.
 
Can I clear the check engine light by disconnecting the battery overnight - thinking of trading in the car. Failing that can I replace Oxygen sensors myself? Found some online for $50 without connectors. How hard can it be? Can bad O2 sensors really ruin the cat converters?
 
thanks,
 
Scott.
