Broomers-ZED Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi guys and girls. Just recently I have had problems trying to start my zed. Yesterday I tryed Turing her on and nothing... It just made the chug chug chug chug noise, stoped for a few seconds and tryed again... Nothing. Thn 3rd time lucky she started perfectly. That was saterday Today, exacty the same prob, thn after my car has be sat still for about a hour or so... So still warm, I tryed Turing her on, and tryed about 6 times before she went... I got a new battery about 4 months ago, so only thoughts are a duff one? But thn it has been pretty cold each time I have tryed to start the zed. A few ligjts seem to flicker as I turn of the ignition, I think it was handbrake light & passenger air bag light. The flickers loads thn stoped... But getting into the car when I tryed it 5ish times the battery Sybol flickerd a few times but very lightly. Like a faded flick. An I Making any sense. Much appreciate guys. Ps sorry for spelling Dyslexia Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Did you happen to notice Phil what your battery voltage meter in the car was reading? Just a thought as it may indicate low voltage giving you an idea if it is the battery. Hopefully some of the more experienced Zed mechanics will show their faces to help you out more as I don't want to just start randomly suggesting things that may not even be the cause.

GIXXERUK Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) First thing to check is the connections on the battery are tight and clean as gm says check the volt meter Sounds like Battery connections Battery Starter Earth strap from the battery Difficult to pin point without hearing it start or try to start Edited February 9, 2014 by GIXXERUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 See this thread and particularly the post by Darren-B about the engine earthing - something to check maybe? http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/73878-car-wont-start-after-rebuild-help/page__hl__earth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broomers-ZED Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Sorry late reply guys. Yes GM, I checked the voltage metre the 3rd time it happend, well before I tryed it, it was perfectly in the middle at 12volts :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hhmm. Mine sit's higher than 12 Volts tbh but it might be time to check some of the things GIXXERUK or Ebized suggested if you haven't already. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
