Now here one for the book.. Every morning when i start my Max... all I normally get after the normal 3second crank is a serious dissapointment... it won't start on first try...
it always starts on the second crank.... I don't get it.. i thought maybe it wasn't getting enough fuel or the fuel injector heads were clogged... but I'm prety sure it is not these reasons...

Always help a Max owner.... Remember it's all love...

 

Mine had the same problem,
96 se Auto
They had to replace the Ignition switch.
The starter and fuel pump were fine, no vapor lock.
Kinda expensive so you may want to see if any one else has other ideas.

 

My car sometimes hesitated at startup in the mornings. I pour injector cleaner in the tank, and haven;t had that problem since. I think is worth trying....it costs only 4 bucks.

 

You are reporting a cold-start problem. This symptom could be caused by a faulty Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

You may want to test your Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor. This is easy enough, requiring only an ohmmeter.

On the 4th Generation Maxima engine the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor is located in the water outlet tube close to the engine end of the upper radiator hose. There are two sensors in that area. The one nearest the hose is for the dashboard temperature gauge. The ECTS, the one you're interested in, is right next to the the gauge sending unit. There is a good picture of these sensors in the Haynes repair manual on page 3-7.

With the engine cold, disconnect the ECTS and measure its resistance.
Reconnect the ECTS, start the engine, run it until fully warmed up. Stop
the engine, and repeat the resistance measurement. The "warm" reading
should be a much lower value than the "cold" reading.

The manual gives these specs:
Engine coolant temperature 68F, ECTS resistance 2.1 - 2.9 Kohms
Engine coolant temperature 194F, ECTS resistance 0.24 - 0.26 Kohms
(Roughly a factor of ten difference.)

 

Well i tried the Fuel injector cleaner and i noticed a slight improvement for about a week.. and then it went back to normal... Well any way thanks ....shatelb..bolido2000
.... and especially Daniel B. .... for all you advice..
