Starting Issue

alyfal14 · 10-10-2016, 04:03 PM

I have been having problems with my 370Z starting....When I press in the start button, it will go to start than just go back to ACC....this does not always happen sometime I can go days and it just starts up on the first try, others it takes several tries to start. I have a new battery and a new battery in my key. Took it to the deal and he said it would need to fail hard for him to fix. Naturally everytime I tried to start it at the dealer it started right up...any idea's on this intermiten problem

Check the brake and/or clutch pedal switches. Wiring diagrams, etc in FSM (link in my sig). I think the ESCL was deleted by 2011 but, if you have one, you need to pull the fuse (search is your friend).

it was the clutch starting switch...parts and labor $83, but now I know the car will start..

So this just happened to me last night except I'm a 7AT. Car cranked and then started for half a second and died 5 times in a row. By the sixth try as soon as it started I gave it a little throttle to rev it and the car stayed alive and then it was fine. I turned it off just to check if it would start without adding gas and it started fine. Any ideas? Z is about to hit 50k miles.
