QuestionI have a 2000 Infinite I30 with 108,000 miles. In the last year I've replaced the sparks plugs, spark plugs wires (coil), battery, starter, and alternator. I was starting up fine until a couple of days ago, I went to seems to start, but it stops. What can be causing this? I check with the dealership and they think it may need a new fuel pump with will cost me $505.00 including labor and parts. I thought maybe it's my key because the chip fell out and instead of purchasing another I wrapped it up in tape to hold it in place. Also, my keyless entry does not work, it will not unlock or lock the doors or open the trunk after I have replaced the battery.
AnswerPaula,
On the key try the other one and see if the car will start. The key will not allow the fuel pump to run if the chip is defective. On the remote there is a procedure to follow to reset the keyfob with the car and this one if from infinitihelp.com
To reprogram (enter new ID) key fob (keyless remote controller) follow the steps.
1. Close all doors and lock all doors
2. Insert and remove the key from the ignition key cylinder more than six times within 10 seconds.
(The hazard warning lamp will then flash.)
NOTE:
Key should be withdrawn from ignition key cylinder completely each time.
NOTE:
Do not rush the insertion/removal key cycling process. The side
marker/tail/license lamps and interior illumination will flash twice when this step is
accurately completed.
3. Insert key on ignition key cylinder and turn ignition key switch to "AAC" position
At this time, the new ID code is entered and original (previous) ID codes are erase.
4. Press any button on the new remote controller once. (The hazard warning lamp will then flash)
NOTE:
Do not press the button more than one time in the above step. If the button
is pressed more than one time, the programming procedure will not be successful.
The side marker/tail/license lamps and interior illumination will flash twice when this
step is accurately completed and programming is successful.
If there is only one remote controller skip step 5.
5. Additional ID code entry
Release the door lock, then lock again with door lock/unlock switch
(In power window main switch)
6. Remove key from ignition
7. Unlock driver side door, open driver side door and then close the door. (END)
NOTE:
If you need to activate more than two additional new remote controllers, repeat
the procedure on step 5 "Additional ID code entry" for each new remote controller.
NOTE:
Entry of maximum four ID codes is allowed and any attempt to enter more will be ignore.
If the fuel pump is defective there will be no pressure at the engine. This can be checked before the dealer replaces the pump. Say you want to know what the fuel pressure is before you authorize the repair.
