I just purchased a 1993 J30T Infiniti. Does anyone know how to fix a trunk lid or gas lid neither will close?

are you simply saying the latches will not latch properly?? Sounds like the car has some sort of body damage or something... You can adjust the striker for the trunk, but the gas door isnt that way..

93 J30, low miles of 75,000. Stalls while stopped after warming up. Very hard start if at all. Will after 20 minutes or so. Have replaced fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter and relay inside L kick panel. Have purchased a fuel pump but leary of installing yet. It shutters and then dies in seconds. Sometimes get a check engine light and idle fluctuates. Will weak fuel pump set off a code? Sound like a pump? Any info is appreciated. Thank you

Window motor problems by 1after909

I have replaced the driver side window motor 3 times with brand new motors, each time the motor goes bad. In looking through the manual, I found where the previous owner also replaced the motor twice, does anyone know what could be burning out these motors?

My first car... by j30love4life87

My two back windows on my 94' Infiniti are currently being held up by tape and the motors are useless. the front windows can only be operated with the main controls on the driver side because the switch on the passenger side window is useless too. My headlights were rewired because there were 3 plugs on one side and only 1 on the other, instead of 2 on each side (low beam, high beams). She(my car) was supposedly scraped along side a garage door by her original driver in Texas but she came to me with a HORRIBLY done up chop job of a fix and looked like she had been in a head on collision with a brick wall and then sent to some shady backyard mechanic with a hammer Anyways besides all that the guy that sold her to me had bought a cadillac and needed the garage space for it so he sold her to me for $700 cash. She will be due for some re-upholstering after a fatal encounter with my bored dog and a serious paint job. Here's the fairytale ending though, she will still do 0-60 for me in about 5.4- 5.7 seconds and she will never not start, even though its very cold in ohio and she has over 166,000 miles on her. IT IS THE BEST CAR EVER!!!!

Check your antifreeze level.

Infinity J-30 mystery by deborahlrichar

I bought my J-30 in 2000 when it was 4 yrs old. I've read the messages posted and have had some of those same issues. It has over 100,000 but still runs great until this last deal. My current problem is a mystery to my mechanic and any other men in my life. On Monday, my husband checked the oil and it was fine. By Friday on my way to work I heard a "tapping" and freaked. I went straight to my mechanic and he checked the oil and it was bone dry. He put in 3 qts and I drove on to work, about 20 miles. I was on a busy exit in Dallas and suddenly, the car died. It was completely gone. No oil. The water in the radiator was a slight brown, but not what it would be if the oil were in there, according to the mechanic. Prior to this, there was no oil on the driveway, no black exhaust coming out of the back, and so forth. Where did the oil go? I had it towed to my mechanic and he's baffled. He says if we can solve this mystery, he can rebuild the engine if there's one good head. (whatever that is...LOL) In the meantime, I'm carless. Please help!

I own a 94 Infiniti J30 with 180,000 and it has recently started stalling as well. I'm pretty mechanical, but I am hesitant to start tearing into that crowded japanese motor. Did you ever figure out what was causing your car to stall?
 
My J30 is doing the same thing, once it warms up some electrical issues start happening. Its related to my breaks I think, when I tap them my lights dim on the inside and out. It eventually dies on me and I see a check engine sensor (which has been on for the last 15,000 miles probably although its been running EXCELLENT...) I also see my airbag light, seatbelt light, and ABS light. This has happened about 6 times in the last week. Sometimes it will stutter and the gas pedal is very non-responsive (which makes me think it could be a fuel filter possibly). After it dies on me, it is VERY VERY hard to start.
 
Does anyone have any useful knowledge???
 
Thank you

J30 repair by perryman51

My transmission recently went out on my 93 j30. I had someone who does transmissions for a living rebuild it. When he went to put the transmission back in, the car would not start. He seemed to think that because the battery had been removed, the security system disarmed the car and prevented it from starting. When I called the dealer to ask about the codes, I was told that there were no codes for that car, however, the manual speaks about getting codes to input through the radio.
 
Does anyone have any experience or information regarding this situation? I now have a rebuilt transmission and no running car.
