'Few groaning' noises does that mean?

Do you have lights/radio? Is it cranking?

dead starter
dead battery
bad GND points
Bad pos. batt points
# of different fuses
Fusible link
CPS
ECTS



Too vague..need more information

 

sorry that was vague, yeah the battery is fine, cuz all the lights go on, when u turn the key, but then when i turn to ignite the car it is trying to turn over, and just groans a couple of times and dies

 

Might very well be a battery on its way out. Possibly a bad GND on the battery terminal.

Check those...

 

whas a GND?

 

GND = ground... the wire bolted to the body of the car to complete the circuit

 

time for an optima battery!

 

It might be the battery as others mentioned. You may just need a battery service or check first. Does it throw any code(s)? It could also be the engine coolant temp sensor (ECTS).

 

Sounds like the battery. Same thing happened to me. It'll groan a couple of times and then nothing. The lights do turn on but the battery's about to die.

 

yeah exactly, and i noticed the positive terminal was all corroded

 

Hey all just got a 96 maxima .. high miles 215,000 miles any how when i am driving if i am at a light... or let the car idel.. the rpm will go all the way down adn the car will shut off... If i rev up the car with the brake on i can keep gogin.. anyone know wat the problem could be?? thanks
