    Starting problem Nissan Patrol 2002 GU 4.8L Petrol Auto

    *My name is Glen I live in Darwin I have a 2002 Nissan Patrol GU 4.8 Petrol Auto and a starting problem.
    2 weeks ago went fishing, left lights on got a flat battery. Got a jump start and the car ran fine for 2 weeks. Drove on a Saturday and car went well. Monday morning it cranks over and wont start. Had auto electrician look at it and no faults on computer. Have pulse at Crank cam sensor at front of rocker cover. Shows pulse but no power at coils. All fuses are good. Put a new battery in. Cranks over can smell fuel but no firing. Any help please I am going troppo. Have tried spare key. Any suggestions. Not many 4.8L patrols in Darwin.
    Thanks Glen.

    When you turn the ignition on does the MIL (check engine light) in the dash come on?

    When cranking the engine does the red LED on top of the dash stop flashing?

    Thankyou to the forum readers who assisted in the fault finding of my 2002 Nissan Patrol re not starting.
    I had an auto electrician who diagnosed the computer was no good. Another auto electrician (a good one) who diagnosed that it was something to do with the NATS security system but we couldnt get the NATS code from the local dealer or Nissan Australia. Had a message come through from the forum and a phone call from an enthusiast from the forum, who suggested the key reader- Many thanks. Waited 4 more days to get a local mobile locksmith to look at it - here for 15 mins and was told it was a dongle component. The key reader was all okay by his scan tool. Was told it has to go the Nissan dealership. $$$$$$ later Nissan found it was the key reader at fault. They Replaced the key reader and we pick it up tomorrow.
    We would just like to thank everyone for their time and suggestions, I find the forum a great asset. Keep up the good work.
    Especially Rodney for the phone call you were definitely on the right track. And thanks to Virgil for the responses too.
    Ps. Please make sure that when jump starting your patrol that you put the earth lead to the motor not the battery.
    Regards Glen
