1997 Nissan Maxima 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

we have a 97 nissan maxima gle 3.0 sfi dohc 6 cyl. It starts on the first turn and runs fine. But, if you shut it off it won't start again! Let it sit sometimes it starts right up again! New batterie, new plugs. No codes. Any ideas we would be very appeciated! Thanks for any responses back.

If it refuses to start don't wait for nothing- do below to find out if its fuel or spark problem that's causing it not to start-something has to give.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing.
