Nissan Altima not starting(sometimes)

Josh, Code 55 for your Altima simply means no faults were found/no malfunction. Do you mean car would not crank(engine not turning over) or did you mean engine will crank, but not start. I will post troubleshooting links to both conditions below. If not comfortable, have a good Technician look at it, diagnose and estimate repair.

Hi,
It starts and runs OK, correct?

Check your fluid level - Directions in the Owner's Manual.

Are you pushing the brake pedal b4 trying to move the lever (sorry, have to ask)?

Does the lever move @ all? Into Neutral?

Is the Check Engine Light on?

Sounds like you'll need to have it towed to a shop. Call the Better Business Bureau for a reference, or recommendations from family/friends.

GL,

Sounds like a misfire check for codes

EITHER COIL PACK WIRE OR PLUG OR IT IS POSSIBLE YOU HAVE A BAD CYLINDER OR PCM IS NOT SUPPLYING POWER TO COIL

Primary ignition fault. Reasons: Bad distributor cap (most likely) or ignition control module/ignition coil.
Hope that helps
Good Luck

HI, It sounds like to me that you need to replace your thremal fan switch, this controls the radiator fans to go on and off as needed and keep temperature at normal.

Every 30,000 miles you need an air filter, every 60,000 a fuel filter, every 100,000 spark plugs. That's it.

hi more than likley to be the alternator remove your fan belt start engine see if noise disapears yates210456
