NISSAN INFINITI G37 CRANKS BUT WON'T START DIAGNOSIS

In today's video we take a look at a 2013 infiniti G37 with a V6 3.7l engine. The customers complaint is that the vehicle shut off while driving. Now the motor will crank but it does not start and run. From the sound of the way the engine cranks, it seems we may have a timing chain problem, but we have to run some diagnostic tests to be sure.

I honestly love how you make reading tech drawings from timing to wiring simple. Much appreciated and I am learning lots. Defo going to keep watching. Best teacher so far found. Awsome mechanic thank you

[@khrazy_one6472]

Very educational and entertaining content. I'm glad I live in an era where knowledge and experience is easily transferable through youtube videos like this. Keep it up!

[@MrBuddysAdventures]

I've said it before. This is my favorite repair channel, why? Eric's a down to earth dude, quick and to the point videos, I don't have to watch at 1.5x speed like some others just to get to the point and I still usually learn a thing or two.

[@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO]

[@valentingeorgiev5001]

Great diagnostics, Eric! I'm an electronic engineer for almost 30 years - your approach is very systematic, logical and scientific. You have a great understanding of the mechanical, electrical and software operation of cars and go right to the most time saving diagnostic method. If you ever get tired of wrenching, you would be a great teacher at a tech college. Any college should be happy to have you teaching the art of auto diag and repair. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world!

Exactly what typical old shops don’t understand, gotta KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES. Cars as old as the 2000s have hundreds of modules that control them, you need to have the equipment to work on them amd understand how to use that equipment. Great Diagnostic!

[@richard1835]

I appreciate your diagnostic videos. Always something to learn about and for helping someone to perform the job properly. People are not maintaining there vehicles. I do alot of Auto A/C work and always check the fluids and condition of the vehicle. I make recommendations based on what I see and hear. I have seen sludge oil, no oil, and what used to be coolant, with these vehicles. The A/C is more important than oil in the vehicle or coolant in the cooling system. It is amazing what I see. I do keep these fluids readily available because I want them to leave without a coincidence. Rattling Timing Chains but no A/C. Fix the A/C and I will deal with the broken timing chains. You have to be so careful with these peoples vehicles. Alot of neglect. Get the job done and move on.

[@sergioduenas1533]

I had this once with a customers 350z. The second I cranked it and it backfired through the intake I new someone's gonna need a new engine . Checking the codes n compression confirmed it for me. 3 dead cylinders n crank/cam codes. Great content bro #mechlife

[@vicarod]

I seriously doubt that shop is capable of replacing timing chains if that's all it needs. Hence the motor swap. Great video and diagnosis Eric!

[@MartinM04]

Awesome video man!! Loving it

THANK FOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS AS ALWAYS

[@dangallagher7355]

Great work using the scope for relative compression vs pulling the plugs and using a gauge.

[@markferraro5250]

Great job Eric

[@ChengSAE]

Definitely better to replace engine. Great diagnose process. I had assumed first with most nissans. Bad crank or cam sensors. I know it's a pain to do timing replacement on these. Very involved.

[@speedy_pit_stop]

Speaking of timing. ..On many channels I end-up increasing the playback speed, as I often feel they are wasting time. Your approach is better, BANG, here it is, so I don't need to do that. Thanks for the quality, super-concentrated and highly focused content.

[@NolanMotorsports]

I started watching your channel with the purple Viper fix. Here I think I’m pretty good at fixing cars but you’re next level lol. If you’re ever in Dallas and want to check out a proper early model Viper lmk 👍

[@redneckdrennan745]

great diagnosis. as soon as i heard it turn over i heard the sound of death and would have stopped

[@fredsalter1915]

My first guess when I heard you crank that engine was "timing is F-ed Up". Keep these great vids coming, sir!

Crank immediately sounds like low or no compression. I’m 2:08 into the video….. Looks like timing issue and possibly isolated to one bank (5:40 into video)….….BOOOM! I was correct I believe. Had to do a cam crank correlation on a Range Rover I owned with similar symptoms. Awesome Eric!

Keep going bro. Great evaluation. Plus the video editing are getting better.

[@victormanuelparraexposito2819]

Low oil level causes low oil pressure which causes the chain tensioner to fail and therefore causes the chain to skip teeth. the VQ35 and 37 are notorious for this issue. Well done with your diagnostics.
