Starting problem
This problem is driving me crazy
It takes forever to start,i have to crank it anywhere between 1-7 cranks so that it can start. And the the other day it was very cold and it did not start at all. it seems like the colder it gets the harder it gets. I seem to flood the engine all the time because, just when it seems to catch i give it some gas and nodda happens. Im getting stress.
I took the car to many differnt shops and it sounds like there trying to beat me in the head.
I changed the starter
the cam sensor
the crank sensor
spark plugs.
Battary
altenator. and i get good gas mileage almost 210 a tank on 93.
what could it be
help guys
anything will help
Ps i was thinking maybe the cam position sensor harness ????

Oh boy. Well here it is. If you think the cold is affecting the way it starts it is going to be the Coolant Temperature Sensor. I had the same problem you were having. Only that mines started after i replaced my transmission. So if you have replaced or had work done on your transmission have someone check the ground cable that goes to the transmission. Good Luck!

Test the coilpacks for the correct resistance?

Since when is 210 miles to a tank considered good mileage?
Check your ECTS
Clean out your throttle body and IACV *see stickies for info*

i changed the temp sensor and the fuel filter.
i did change my tranny but i had someone check to see if any ground was
caught, nothing
I remember going to nissan stealership and they told me that i had a beatup
computer from a junk yard, and that i should replace this
could this be the problem.
ps everytime i put my car on the scanner alot of codes come out, and almost all the codes that come out are from sensors that i have replaced in the last 2 months
