1993 Infiniti J30 T review from North America
"Great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Apart from the sun roof not working, and the usual things like alternator, brakes and muffler etc, great car; heavy on gas though.
General comments?
4 months ago the car was running fine, then it started to stall when decelerating. Now it has got to the point where it will only start and run when I only turn the ignition on 5 or 6 times, then try and to start it. I have try and do this at least 6 times, and each time it will pick up RPMS first, and the second time there is no RPM, it just sputters then stalls, then gradually it will build up to full RPMS each time I do this; 1000, then 2000 and so on. I have to gently accelerate each time to bring it to full revs.
I also notice a slight back fire coming from the air intake manifold when close to full RPMS. I leave it running for 10 minutes and it's fine. Go back in 1 hour and it's still fine, but go back in 2 hours then it's back to the begging again (won't start).
I am scared to drive it now because it could be dangerous. Any ideas on what could be wrong with the car???
