#8 of 26 Infinity J-30 mystery by deborahlrichar Oct 17, 2007 (5:05 am)
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!
#9 of 26 STALLING by bcornstars03 Dec 02, 2007 (9:18 am)
Replying to: unknown (Sep 28, 2006 9:30 am) 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 Replies to this message: j30fan (Apr 27, 2009 6:52 pm)
#10 of 26 J30 repair by perryman51 Dec 11, 2007 (5:30 am)
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.

Hi, I have a 1995 Infinity J30t. Its an awsome care except that two weeks ago my transmission hesitates to go into reverse, athough the drive gear is exellent. It seems that it hessitates before going into reverse, especialy when it get to normal operating temp. Any idea anyone??   Regards, Replies to this message: infamous72387 (May 08, 2008 6:00 pm)

#14 of 26 wont start, stall while driving @50mph by kennywildgoose Dec 10, 2008 (7:39 am)
1st I noticed a louder then usual noise (tapping valves), I added some oil & additive to quiet the valves, that didnt work, after driving for about 25min. I heard a howling/wheeping noise I thought one of my windows was open,but not th case, the noise went away, I slow down to about 30-40mph but the noise came on and off within 3-4 mins. then BLANK the engine stop running, I put the car in neutral and let it stroll to a safe place off the highway, let it sit for awhile then try to start it, the engine turns over strong but wont start up, the car has been sitting since then, a machanic friend came to check some stuff: Battery is good,,getting fuel to the rail,, starter is fine, STILL NOT START,,please help Replies to this message: rrroj30 (Mar 04, 2009 2:09 pm)

Replying to: kennywildgoose (Dec 10, 2008 7:39 am) the cause of this is, the mas air flow sensor needs replacement.
#16 of 26 My J30 is at 150k by ajruder Apr 12, 2009 (3:02 pm)
My 96 J30 is about to hit the 150k plateau. I've had it since 125k and haven't had to do much maintenance on it. I've noticed it's been a little sluggish and I a hear a loose rattling noise for a few minutes after I start it after sitting. I am unaware of what the previous owners have done as far as maintenance. I want to ask if anyone has any suggestions or advice for a non car guy on if there is anything preventative I should or can do just to be safe. Thanks you.
