Hey guys.... The other day my max just would not start. It was getting fuel but no spark. So the next day when the tow truck arrived it started right up. Brought it to Nissan and they say that there isnt anything wrong. I know its kinda vague but does anyone have any ideas??? 91SE

Thanks
Jimmy

 

How do you know it was getting fuel? How do you there was no spark?

Did it crank over? Did it just "click" when you tired to start it?

How new/old are your plug wires, cap, and rotor?

 

If it's an automatic, it could be your shifter bushings.

 

if it was turning over but just not starting it is probably the distributer cap. It is a common problem with maximas to get cracks in them and it builds up moisture inside the cap. This will cause it to not start sometimes but later it will once it has dried out some.

if it acted like I said I would get a new dist. cap.

 

man..i read this thread all wrong..it's cranking..definitely not a shifter bushing problem.
