Starting issues - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Just replaced starter with another O'Reilly re-mand one that has lifetime warranty. They said battery was ok. Put it in and it started ok couple of times then click click like before but now the radio turns on when I stop cranking it though the acc on eclipse stereo is turned off so it shouldn't be getting any power at all. Its like the battery has been disconnected and reconnected. U can hear the fuel pump getting power and lights work normal. I do have a bad valve cover leak for long time and my cel keeps coming on because of o2 sensor but replacing didn't affect it. Still throws a code even after computer has been cleared. Stock ka no mods

Small questions thread! Or go look in the tech section, there's a recent thread about this issue, not every little problem needs its own thread =)

sounds like you just need to clean and tighten your battery terminals

Took battery in but they said it was ok and wouldnt give me another one. Nothing is glitching. There is power. Posts look ok. I know this sounds stupid but I got to the ignition switch but couldn't unplug it its impossible. Is there some trick to it?

should be a tab on it... use a flathead

You would think after being a member on Zilvia for nearly 15 years you'd learn to find a push/pull tab on an ignition switch - especially with most of them failing routinely on this chassis.

Regardless, there is a little notch in the pigtail. That's where you put the tip of your flathead on.
