I had the same problem w/ my maxima (no check engine light)took awhile to crank, but after worked fine...it was a huge pain in the *** to fix,

1.) used injector cleaner (not it)
2.) replaced fuel filter (not it)
3.) replaced spark plugs (not it, but helped)
4.) finally hooked it up to a computer and noticed that when it was cranking you are supposed to get a 180 degree crank radius...i would get between 87 and 140...so i thought i would be the crank sensor (not it)
5.) FINALLY contacted nissan and they said that it could be a bad ground inside my transmission (hard to believe)...but $500 later it proved to be the problem

Good luck
