Cold weather/engine starting issue
I am having issues starting my 2000 Maxima SE on the cold -20 celcius days. I do not have a block heater, and am going to put one in soon, but it will still start without it. The engine turns over fine, and fires right up, but then it sputters a bit, and dies. It will always fire right back up, but does the same thing. Sometimes it will run for 10 seconds or more before it happens, sometimes it happens right away. I can hear something clicking as it is sputtering or dying that sounds like a solonoid. Any ideas what this could be, or will a block heater just clear this up? It never does this on warmer days.
