Someone, please help, i'm still financing this car, can't afford it to get any worse. I've had it less than a week and don't know much about it, but it was as smooth as could be the first 2 or 3 days i had it
Any ideas what might be wrong??
Thx
So far after having a new speed sensor the car has been fine.
FYI
My son has a 1997 infiniti i30 and unfortunately the alarm keeps going off no matter what or when!
Neighbors are about to run us out of town and don't blame them frankly!
I would like to disable this forever so wondering if can just pull the black anti-theft fuse out of the box under the hood or is there something else I need to do. Am inserting pic. with top of box off for reference and fuse below. I do see wires coming out of bottom of the fuse so not sure if I should mess with this and our neighbors and us would surely appreciate your help. Thanks so much!

I notice no engine/performance differences while the lights are flickering/emitted.
I had just replaced my MAF prior to this new problem.
Alternator was replaced 2.5 years ago.
Battery & Alternator tested fine at AAdvance Auto, and the guy could see something wrong with my car and said it was probably a short?
I have about 170k miles on it. I'm due for an oil change so when I drop it off at the mechanic I'd like to tell him about the issue. If it's a short is it better off to just wait until it actually shuts down? Otherwise, I may be throwing bad money at it trying to fix things that actually don't need to be fixed. I realize it's an old car and just having it run me to and from work is pretty much it's only purpose, although it's still a sharp car.
Is it something related to the MAF? I did have the Check Engine Light on for like a few years, and it recently turned off after replacing the MAF. But this new problem is just weird to happen right after servicing my car.
Thanks for all input!
I have a air flow sensor problem and I am gonna have it replaced in this week, and also a have an error and the code is P1492. I have a '98 infiniti i30. Do you have any idea about this error code?

Could u please check it, if this is the right material that I need to buy?
I did notice that the ABS started to flicker by itself shortly before replacing the alternator. But anyways, no lights have flickered since the alternator was replaced.
I did have it scoped at AutoZone and they said everyhting looked good (the lights were not flickering at the time). So, if it's intermittent it may not show until it finally breaks.
I tried leaving my windows down during the day, thinking that the ambient heat might be causing an electrical short, that might be causing my car to stall out? I am at the witts end, trying to figure this out. Can ANYONE please give me some advise on what may be my problem with my 96 infinity?
When I attempt to start, there is:
- no "click"
- no noise whatsoever from the starter
- no changes in dials on the dashboard
- dashboard check battery light turns on
- A/C, stereo, headlights, etc. turn on
This has happened several times - always on hot days when the car has been sitting out in the sun. It will consistently fail to start if I attempt to start repeatedly. I've had success getting the car to by opening the hood and letting the engine "air out", when it's not particularly hot out, or leaving it for a few hours and returning in the evening when it is cooler.
Yesterday, it failed to start right after I pumped gas in the afternoon. I was able to get it started by waiting a few minutes with the hood open.
I've had the car for five months and never had any issues starting in the winter.
It's 13 years old and has about 110,000 miles on it. The battery is newish.
I'm going to try this test (from about.com) to confirm the ignition switch is the problem next time it happens. I think it's possible that the starter itself could be going bad - hopefully this (below) should isolate the issue?
Bad Igntion Switch: If your battery checks out, but the starter is still silent, it may be a faulty ignition switch. Turn the key to the on position (not all the way to start). If the red warning lights on your dash don't light up (and your battery connections are clean), the ignition switch is bad. If they do light up, turn the key to the start position. The dash warning lights should turn off at this key position (most cars). If you're not sure, turn on the headlights. When you try to start the car, the lights should either dim (a lot) or turn off completely. If they do, your ignition switch should be ok. If not, the switch will need replacement.
