2002 Nissan Maxima

Turns over but won't start. Been checked and diagnostic check done but it showed everything good. Mechanics puzzled and said they've tried everything they know and don't know what else to do. First problem with this a couple weeks ago. Started up as usual, drove 4 miles,turned at a exit, car died. Wouldn't restart, then about 15 min. tried again, it sarted, made it home, but next morning wouldn't start.
Had it towed to a garage,they checked as stated above. WHAT else can I check for?????

Sounds like a failing crank or cam sensor; does the car have spark? Remove the main lead from the coil and position near a grounded piece of clean metal, place it @ 1/4" away and crank engine over for 2-3 seconds and watch for spark; if nothing it will give you some direction. If there is spark check for fuel injector pulse; rent some NOID lights from Autozone or such and unplug one injector and plug in NOID light and crank over for 3-4 seconds if you get a pulse of light the injector pulse should be ok. Next area I'd check is fuel pump, you'll need to check for fuel pressure, some special tools needed here plus your working with gasoline, take care of no spark/no flame. You may be able to listen for your fuel pump...turn off items such as fan, radio and such, make it quiet crank over motor for 2-3 seconds listen for a click (that would be your fuel pump relay and when you let go of your key you should hear the fuel pump run for just a brief second, I expect pump in the tank.
One of these I hope should get you in the proper direction.
I hope this may have helped you,
Tom

Turns over but won,t start

check your battery levels. You might have a bad cell. If that is with in levels....check all fluids, spark plugs, fluid sensors, check everything before thinking about the carburetor.

Sounds like it wants to start up, but doesn't. No problems showed up in a diagnostic test, mechanic is puzzled. It just died going down street, I pulled over and tried starting it 10 min. later. It...

There are too many variables involved and without further tests you would only be guessing. The problem needs to be broken down to either fuel or ignition assuming you have compression and the mechanics of the engine are sound. Firstly try spraying a little engine starting fluid into the intake and see if it will fire or run for a few seconds. If it starts on starting fluid you have a fuel problem, if not then its electrical. From there you can report back and the fault can be further diagnosed.

Check or have the electric cooling fan or fans checked, to see if they are coming on, and the radiator cap checked. You've done everything else.
