it won't start

my maxima won't start please help
I have a 1996 nissan maxima. It used to be automatic but I converted it to a five speed. The car ran perfectly fine for two years when it slowly started with a starting problem. It first took a few seconds to start then it started taking minutes about ten to fifteen minutes to just start. At the same time it start getting a sort of power loss and lag if I tried running it fast otherwise it drive just fine. Then one morning it justnever started again and I haven't been able to find the problem. I'm thinking of buying a donor car but before I drop that kind of money I wanted to see what I could do to fix this one. One more thing the my third gear went out about a year after the swap and I never got around to fixing it.

The fuel pump does come on so its not that pressure off the filter i haven't checked and codea I need to get a scanner for that

I think your very first course of action would be to scan for codes. Im sure someone could list of possibilities but if you could pull up a code that would be eons faster than guessing.

+1 on screwdriver method, may be tedious but sure beats buying/renting a scanner. Just make sure youre gentle!
