Dillons VQ37

Hello,
I have a G37S coupe and my starter has went out. I have removed the starter from its slot and now it's stuck in its spot. I have already unscrewed all the bolts and inplugged all the wires. But my question now to you all is how I'm the world so I wiggle the little thing out of the small amount of space I am given. If someone has had to deal with this or something similar please help!!
-Thank you!!

I removed the starter and that didn't change that my car didn't power the ignition up. What else could it be. The starter and batter are both working properly. Battery giving 12V and starter turns on and all. Any suggestions?

crookncastle

so you jumped the gun and replaced the starter. well does the vehicle even crank? or does it not even send the starter signal from the ignition switch? check for starter signal if the car does not crank. if you don't get the starter signal at the starter solenoid then you need to trace the problem back to the ignition switch. did you do any splicing or tapping for voltage to install aftermarket components lately which you may have inadvertently robbed the starter signal? is it a manual? if so check neutral safety switch.

Sorry pal, I have to tell you your logic and troubleshooting skills are lacking.
First you tell us you have a bad starter and are unable to remove it.
Now you tell us your battery is good, and the starter cranks your engine but doesn't start.

As I mentioned in a previous post.
Follow the FSM
If the engine cranks but doesn't start did you check for spark?
Do you have fuel in the tank?
Have you checked for fuel pump pressure.
It's not rocket science

Air
Fuel
Spark

Grab your multimeter and get back to work

Or call AAA and have it towed to the nearest Infiniti dealer
And by the way did you purchase a flood vehicle?

its a 08 g37s automatic, I haven't done anything aftermarket yet. When I hit my push button you can the the little lever in the solenoid flip. But the starter just doesn't spin or I guess you could say spark. It's almost like my solenoid works, but the starter just doesn't spark

I'm sorry, this is my second car, first was a jeep that had absolutely no problems. I filled up with a full tank 2 days before this happened and hadn't driven anywhere. But I the day before that I was driving and still have about 3-4 gallons in my tank and my car died and wouldn't start back up until I put about 2 gallons of gas from a gas jug and then made it to the gas station to fill up. Makes me feel like a bad fuel pump or something. But I'm not sure. I don't know much about car stuff like this in general. That why I got a car

Buy some starting fluid and spray it into the throttle body. If it starts most likely it's the fuel pump or something related. But, if its not cranking you can't condemn the fuel pump.

Went ahead and bought a new starter. Fixed the problem. Don't rely on autozone or OReillys testing of batteries or starter or anything of the sort. They told me that both were working fine which wasn't the case.
