Can be caused by failing idle air control valve or by vacuum leaks or egr valve stuck open. See notes at link below. Do It Yourself Diagnosis and Repair

Check the intank fuel pump

Try pushing your shifter all the way forward while trying to turning the key to the off position and pulling the key out. You will most likely have to buy a new shifter lever or the whole shifter assembly.

Your timing has jumped.

fixing leaks in oil pans is iffy at best as the oil is in the metal making it hard to weld up. Get a pan from a wreckers.

For what specific plug?

Is the serpentine belt still on the engine, and is it tight ?Does the alternator pulley turn when the engine is cranked or running ?

your theft /locking and keyless entry is behind the radio. I think that is your problem

might be your coil.. that was my problem, but never had an sparks...

sounds like your alternator could be going bad, most major autoparts stores will do a free battery, starter and alternator test, and tell you what your problem is. just make sure you ask for a full charging system test otherwise they will probably just check the battery (if the battery tests bad you wont get an accurate test on your alternator, so replace the battery then have them run the test again right away) If it is the alternator, dont let it go too long, a bad alternator can kill your battery, a bad battery can kill your alternator and starter, and a bad starter can kill a battery.no promises that this is your problem but it is where I would start, there are other possibilites as well, such as a weak feul pump or clogged fuel filter, if your engine isn't getting enough gas it will dog down and stall. But like I said above I would start with the battery/alternator/starter test.

Usually there will be a chart on the back of lid for the fuzebox. And it will say what kind of fuze it is.

Test battery, and check for loose connections. Check starter fuse & relay. If you don't hear clicking sounds while trying to start the car then most likely it's a bad starter relay. If your getting voltage to the starter but no click then you have bad starter.

Check your fuel pressure it should be 43 psi at an idle with the pressure regulator vacuum hose blocked off.It sounds like you might have a weak fuel pump.If its good then take the mass air flow sensor off and spray the small thin wires inside with a non-chlronated brake cleaner let dry for 10 minutes and re-install.

first check to see if you have any fluid in the clutch master cylinder which is mounted by the firewall on l/h side of car. if fluid is inthere, follow the line/hose to the transmission. this line/hose goes to slave cylinder mounted somewhat on the front/top of trans with 2 bolts. that is the slave. have someone push the clutch as you are watching the slave cylinder for operation. it should move with clutch beeing pressed. if it doesnt move than you have a hydraulic issue/leaking master cylinder. if it moved nicely, tha i would be looking at the clutch.

you have a front cover o-ring leak. its a small o-ring behind the front cover that is causing your oil leak. the o-ring is like 5dollar part, but it takes like 6 hours to replace it and its not a job for someone who doesnt work on cars or has mechanical knowhow and tools needed to complete replacement.

Why are you here?

You take the switch you need, to a nissan dealers
parts counter, so they can match it to what you need

How do you know you need a switch?

Did you even test it?

First the obvious, make sure you don't have any coolant leaks. If your resevoir is low (empty) you probably have a leak somewhere. Make sure cooling fans work. They should come on when you turn on the A/C. If they work make sure your thermostat is not stuck closed. Thermostat is cheap so worth replacing. If car has overheated you'll need one anyway. That should take care of the problem unless there are other symptoms you're not telling us.

Should be in the fuse panel on the left hand side of the dash. The owners manual will identify each fuse for you.

If the neutral safety switch is misaligned or unplugged, the vehicle will not start.
