my 04 with 74k miles new battery new spark plugs new wires and my coils are coming tomorrow buy for some odd reason I could start my car yesterday but today it didn't wanna start it has been having misfiring problems when I hit like 7000rpm so I just wanna make sure it's not other bs

jasonrxeight

new engine?

wildriceboi

nope still the original

wildriceboi

it's being crabby within the last couple weeks like it has trouble after I drive a little bit he shy it off and try to start it back up it takes about 5-9 times cranking the key till it will start i work at a infiniti dealership and my tech said it could be my fuel pump regulator thanks

Razz1

That's a mighty fine guess.

You will know soon after you replace the parts on order.

wildriceboi

i put the coils in and get a brand new battery and it still wont start it seems like the starter is really weak i pulled it out and had it tested and it said it passed any input thanks

wildriceboi

the starter park number is the n3z1 is that the updated starter because its always seemed very weak and i dont have any idea unless the engine is just shot. It cranks but theres a lil humming to but it does crank and i tried the flooding method it didnt do anything

VashGS

Hum it cranks huh. You could try to push start it maybe.

Might need a compression test. No check eng light huh? It's got fresh super unleaded?

wildriceboi

ok it had a check engine light but now i cant tell cuz the lights all on when u try to start it and i do use 93 premium at bp and if i push start it im on a hill on my driveway so its gonna be a bitch to push it back up haha my buddys gonna tow me to walser mazda and i hop it will work cuz im still under the 100k miles engine warrenty so i hope its the engine

jasonrxeight

do a compression test.

wildriceboi

Do I have to brin it to the dealer Orr can I do it myself

zoom44

Take it to the dealer. You can do your own compression test if you have the right tester, but the dealer would like to repeat the test anyways. So just take it to him directly. If you go to the dealer have all your maintenace receipts ready (especially oil changes) and try to get the car as stock as possible.

wildriceboi

yea I work at a infiniti and I maintain my car under the table at my work since I have all the stuff there so it's gonna be hard but my manager is good friends with the service manager at Mazda so I gotta wait till Monday but tomorrow I have a Mazda tech come over tomorrow to help me
