bad gas or new starter?

hmm
well the idea of starter has been discussed. check out this link http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hreadid=14278.
Personally, I think it may be your starter or some seriously dirty terminals.
But I let Daniel B Martin give you a more through diagnosis.

You said your car wouldn't start. Please be more specific. Did it not crank (no Rrr-Rrr-Rrr)? Did it crank, but slower than usual? Did it crank at normal speed but fail to fire (no Vroom!). The diagnostic paths and potential remedies are different.
Help us to help you by providing a clear report of symptoms.

Always do the easy check first. If your vehicle is a 5-speed, make sure the clutch pedal is all the way down when you twist the key to START. If automatic, jiggle the shifter while attempting to crank. Try cranking in both Park and Neutral. If those steps are unsuccessful, consider ...
- discharged battery (dim headlights with engine off)
- weak battery (check voltage at terminals while cranking)
- loose or dirty battery terminal connections at the battery
- loose or dirty battery-to-body ground connection
- loose or dirty battery-to-engine block connection
- bad ignition switch
- bad clutch safety switch (5-speed)
- bad neutral safety switch (automatic)
- bad inhibitor relay
- bad solenoid
- bad starter
The starter is an expensive item so I would check the other items before
spending the money on a replacement.
