Hi,
My 06 Pathfinder cranks but has a hard time starting in cold weather. I will have to try several times before it actually "catches". What may cause this problem?

I would start by checking fuel pump pressure. You may have a weak pump. Also, there is a temp sensor that reads coolant temp and ambient temp. It tells the computer how rich or lean to make the fuel mixture based on temps. That would be my second check.
