My car cranks but it doesnt start. I took it to NIssan dealer and they said that it was the started, they put in a new started and it started but 2 days later the same thing would happen. It would crank but not start. I notcied that my car would start at a jumpstart but if I turned it off it wouldnt turn back on unless it was with a jumpstart or after a good few hours. Then I took it back to nissan and they said maybe it was battery, got new battery and nothing, same thing. Please help? What could be wrong???its been like this for 7 months now. :cry:

Scan the PCM to check for trouble codes, if no codes are pressent check the fuel pump and crankshaft sensor.

Suggested Repair

Scan the PCM for trouble codes. If no codes are present, check the fuel pump and the crankshaft sensor.

Conversation Summary

A 1999 Nissan Maxima cranks but will not start. A dealer replaced the starter and later the battery, but the no-start returned. It will start with a jump or after sitting several hours, then fail again once shut off. The expert recommends scanning the PCM for codes and, if none are present, checking the fuel pump and crankshaft sensor.
