I suspect the MAF or maybe the IAC valve! Your ideas would be appreciated!

thank you
Im a new owner of an 2000 I30 which I bought just 6 months ago. Its funny that Ive looked through some other sites and seen that these cars have the same problems.
My car just started doing this the other day, but it does not want to stay on unless I undo one of the battery terminals then it will stay on. When i try to accelerate it will die on me.
Were you able to fix your problem?? If so what was it?
Thanks,
Gerry~
I have a 2000 I30 also and i just started to see a similar problem. My car 60K miles on it and when i start it, it stalls after like 10 seconds and when I accelerate it just dies on me. Did you ever fix your problem?
My I30 also has the same problem with the engine light, i took it back to the dealer and they said it was a loose connection. I think they just did a reset and gave the car back to me. The light came back on after just a few hundred miles.
These cars seem to be just problems, I might take it back to the dealer, if i can keep it running after i start and trade it for a Toyota or Honda....trouble free cars.
Let me know if you got yours fixed or not!
You shold get a second opinion on that!
Im thinking of returning the car, though its nice and smooth there have been quite a few problems with it. It doenst seem very reliable!
Does anyone know how to change the light bulb in the Infiniti
I-30 clock?
The dealer wants $70.00. I don't think so.
Thanks!!
How do you fixed your problem?

My check engine light also comes on and off and my seat has stopped moving forward and back. All of these seem to be very common problems with no easy (inexpensive) fix. This is my second I30t.
As for my check engine light, it doesn't stay on long enough to bring it to the dealer. They say not to bring it in unless the light is on or no code will come up. So, hopfully the just continues to go on and off and I won't worry too much about it. They said it should be fine to drive. And, from the different comments on this site, it sounds like a very common problem anyways.
Other than these electical issues, the car is great. It is my second one... never had these problems with my '00 model.
1) Has anybody had similar problem?
2) Did you fix it yourself or took to a mechanic?
3) If you fixed it yourself, how complicated was it?
4) Do you know of any online instructions for this problem?
5) Any other suggestions?
Thanks a lot for your help.
As far as it still pinging when you shut if off sounds like the timing!
Good Luck~
Gerry-
I changed my alternator, starter and now they are telling me to change the ignition...I am totally confused about this problem...

i am new to this forum,
i am looking into buying 2000 infinit i30, it has 120k miles, the car seems to be in good shape, clean title, no major mechaninc problems exposed, few dents here and there, color is biege,
seller asking for $7000, i am just worried about the high mileage and whether infinit has expensive maintenance?????
what are the major known problems for the infinit i30 (STD edition)?
you think this car is a good buy?
Regards
Mo
Admittedly, the 90k service is this week, and I expect no change back from a $500 bill. Still, this is not much more than I spent on Mazdas.
