can't start the car, help.
 

hey guys, I have a 96 maxima. It has bad problem with starting the car. It takes about 20 times for the engine to run. I changed the starter but still same problem. Need help. Thanks for any respond.

Are you turning the key?

yea, about 20 times.

Check fuses. Always a good start. Run Codes.

vagueeeeee post

Got to give more info. When you turn the key, what happens? Starter turn over? of not, any click?

when i turn the key, stater not turn over, just click-click....

Answer the other questions too..
Do you have any codes?

no i did not check for the code because i don't know how...

Read the stickies.

Swear to god, there should be a little mini-quiz when you first start here, that asks questions from the stickies before you're allowed to post.

He's been here longer than you have.

Which is what makes it even worse, having been on here for over a year and a half, and not knowing how to check codes, or how to post descriptively.

Good point.


Back on topic..it could be a # of items.

Starter/ECTS/GND points/CPS/CmPS/Battery/Ignition switch :russ:

Ignition switch... no.. wait... ya.. ignition switch.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Do you hear the clicking inside of the car ?? down by the fuse box kinda ?? Sounds like the Ignition Switch to me. Its a $25 part and takes 10 min to install. Its underneath the steering column. I would try that first thing for sure
