Have you checked to see if you are lacking spark to the plugs or fuel pressure when the engine fails to start ?

SOURCE: car wont start just keeps trying to turn over

car is going into limp mode or you have a issue with the stock sercurity system. You will need a consult II to find out why the ses light is comming on. There is also a manual procedure but you have to count the light blinking in a pattern. its easier to go to auto zone and have them check the code.

SOURCE: 95 pathfinder crank but not starting

check every connection on the positive battery terminal(all the small harnesses as well for corrosion....there is a small wire....if not connected the engine will not run........check the coil for spark and check fuel pressure, if both are good then its a bad omen......pull the timing belt cover loose and and check to be sure the timing belt isn't broken....if it is broken then you can guarantee all of the valves are bent....your looking at alot of machine work.... unless you happen to have another set of vg30 heads laying around.... i would recommend professional installation... the mechanics of a vg30 aren't for the timid

SOURCE: 2001 Pathfinder screeches on start

Remove the belt and check all pulleys for smooth operation. any binding at all is amplified when belt tension is applied. also check the belt itself...If it's glazed or dried out, it can be noisy.

My 2001 Pathfinder intermittently won't crank (turn key, radio and AC come on but no engine crank). If I push/pull gear shift, it starts - is there a sensor to make sure its in Park to start that may

Many cars do have a switch on the gear shift to ensure it will not start if not in park, turn on the reverse lights when in reverse, turn on the camera when in reverse, park lights, etc. Here is an article that mentions it a little bit, http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/transmission-drivetrain/154-0805-1987-2001-jeep-cherokee-neutral-safety-switch/.

I have a 2001 nissan sentra, and it seems to have a common 2001 nissan sentra problem. i went to start her about 2 months ago, and she fired right up. drove around, went home and she sat til the next day....

Go over it, check the air filter, fuel filter, make sure your key isn`t bent. bent keys off set the chip and the car cant read it. next time take out the key and turn it around and try it again. let me know.

Cranks but wont start

My nissan pathfinder ran out of gas now it wont start

Try looking for the fuel pump reset switch, which may be towards the back of the vehicle hidden behind a panel.

Installed brand new starter, battery fully charged, and still wont crank. It starts when I kick start it. 1988 nissan pathfinder. What else could be the problem? Relay switch? Or ignition? Please help

Check the ignition switch, and the wiring to the starter solenoid. Get someone to turn the key to the crank (start) position and check for voltage at the starter solinoid. Check the starter relay and all fuses.

Vehicle cranks but wont start has good fire but no fuel pressure theft light is flashing car has not run in over a year ? what do i do to get the theft light to go out?

Turn ignition to run not start,count to 5,turn off key. Repeat this three times. Try to start vehicle. If its starts you are done. If not you will need to repeat turn ignition on count to 5 then turn off, 3 more times On the fourth time leave key in the run position for 10 minutes. Then turn key off & start vehicle.

1994 Nissan Pathfinder LE Engine turns but no start.

One solution to no fire to the injectors is to turn the key on and put a 12 v test light on the injector plug to see if it has fire . if it does not, a common problem is that there is a short in one of the three red wires ( green plug) coming off positive battery terminal. Test (test light) each small wire coming from + battery and if you find a dead one, it has probably broken inside the wire insulation and you can cut it and resplice to a good hot wire. Mine was the hot wire to the injectors !
