If I keep cranking the starter it will eventaully will start but not without a great difficualty.
What could cause this??
Please Help..

 

same problem here, hey you live like 10 mins away from me!

 

try cleaning your starter contacts. that might not be the problem, but it probably wouldn't hurt.

 

Has anybody else experiance this problem
It seems easier to get the car started if I hold down the gas pedal while turning the starter but it still struggles to start..
Could this be the feul filter????

 

I just put in a new starter but it was doing this before the strater went.

 

Had that problem once when i got my car. turned out to be the cam sensor, not too expensive of a fix at all which was good. take it to a mechanic

 

whats about crankposition sensor ?? could that make a car hard to start??

 

I had an integra that did that. It would start if I turned the key first, and quickly presses on the clutch. They replaced the starter, and cleaned the battery terminal.

Currently on my Maxima I am having the same problem, my battery termials are clean... I hope my starter is going!

 

does anybody have a write up on how to test the cam sensor and crankposition sensor??
Don't want to spend any more money on this car..
I have spent enough this year on it.
Looking to trade it in for a new max or g35 in about a year or two...

 

I also am having this problem...in addition occasionally after getting her started it will stall out by the time i get to the front of my neighborhood...only happened a few times in the past couple of months but i can't figure out what the problem is...

 

Yes, the camshaft and crankshaft sensor can throw off the starting system

 

YEs, I had same problem and it turned out to be my camshaft sensor..Your CEL light should come on though. For a VQ30DE

Camshaft sensor located at the left side of the engine, near water pump. Unplug harness and undo one screw holding it in.
To test: resisitence should be 1440-1760 ohms for hitachi
2090-2550 ohms for mitsubishi

Crankshaft is located in transaxle housing, facing the gear teeth of the flywheel.
To test: remove sensor and backprobe terminals with a voltmeter and it should read 5 volts. After you touch the sensor core, the voltage should drop to zero volts. If it doesnt, faulty sensor.

YOU CAN ALWAYS SCRAP THE ENDS OF THE SENSORS(they are magnetic) TO REMOVE THE BUILDUP THATS EFFECTING THE MAGNETIC FIELD
