I've had starting and stalling issues with my car. After replacing the fuel filter the stalling has stopped.

Now the starting issue is still there and quite honestly is getting annoying as hell. I don't have any codes, I tried replacing the starter and nothing. I seems everytime I clean off the camshaft sensor it starts right up, but then I turn it off and it's back to it's old ways.

I did get the code for the Camshaft sensor like about 1 month ago, so i got it brand new from autozone for 70 bucks. I replaced it right then and there at autozone and the car started right away. So I tried cleaning it while it was hot and it also started up right away, but again i turned it off and I tried to restart it and it gave me a hard start.

I was thinkiing maybe it just needs tuned up really really well so i did the following with no Luck. (and yes i did reset the ecu after every sensor was changed)

95 SE
176xxx Miles
5 Speed
Replaced:
*NEW* Both Crankshaft Sensors
*NEW* Camshaft Sensor
Used MAF Sensor (Deff. helped the Idle)
*NEW* Spark Plugs
*NEW* Engine Coolant Control Temputare
Cleaned IACV
*New* Fuel Filter

I'm Seriously running out of ideas here, I'm suspecting new coil packs pretty soon but, wouldnt it be noticiable if i needed some, ( I have smooth idle and the car drives great, no stalling not bucking no nothing, just a freaking starting issue).

might want to use nissan parts and not cheap autozone parts....... Just saying.

 

Are you sure it wasn't the crankshaft sensor?

When mine went out, it hates to start. Annoying as heck.

 

I am in the same boat, and I replaced the crankshaft position sensor, and still having starting problems... I am getting CEL Lights though, but same replacing part after part... I replaced the crankshaft position sensor, and am still getting code... WTF...

 

Check the harness. I changed my sensor, still gave me the code. I then tested the sensor, it was in spec. Then I decided to check the harness, and the harness was damaged. Fixed the harness, have yet to have a starting problem since.

 

Ok, I'll go to the junkyards and cut a couple off and change them out and see what I get.

 

o possibly you might have a an excessive amount of carbon buildup causing that hard start issue if youve ever taken off the manifolds youll know what im talking about look into a air/oil seperator/filter for the breathe rhoses and run a heavyduty cleaner thourgh the vac lines to clean some of that black gunk from inside the manifold
