I bouhgt my 96 Maxima SE in 08/95. I had a major tune-up at 50k miles. Recently, with 81k miles, I had the clutch replaced. Right after, the next day, the car is hard to start. It takes at least 2 or 3 minutes cranking the engine before it starts runnung. The car was fine before. The mechanic replaced the cranksystem attached to the manifold. No luck! It has been a month and still no solution. Anybody, please, anyhelp will be appreciated.
B.T.W. Some people say they had to replace the 1st injector.

 

I had a similar hard starting problem on my '95 Max. It turned out to be my left front O2 sensor! The CEL didn't throw any codes, so I contined to drive the car until I could actually find out what the problem could be. Well, it was too late! I eventually ruined the starter, and then it turned out the O2 sensor was giving me the problem. I then replaced both parts, and she's been running fine ever since. I hope this helped any.
