2006 Nissan Maxima cranks, but will not start. Had been running fine. Replaced crankshaft sensor, but didn't help.

At first car started, then died right away. Did this twice. Fuel tank gauge shows no gas, but know there is gas. Added gas, but still didn't show. Can hear fuel pump when cutting on ignition. Tried spaying starter fluid in intake, but wouldn't fire. Pulled front plugs, cranked engine and did not see a spark. Unsure what to do next.

SOURCE: want too start

yes. the camshaft / crankshaft sensors are known to go bad and will give you the problem that you are having. does the car have a check engine light on? if it were a sensor of that sort the check engine light will be on.

SOURCE: My 1997 Nissan Maxima will not start. It's not

If the spark plugs aren't firing then you just have to follow it backwards. the spark plugs should be connected to a coil or distributor. The problem could be there.

SOURCE: 1996 Nissan Altima crank-no start.

There is a disconnect for the fuel line in the engine compartment. Disconnect it at the motor and cycle the key. This will determine if your fuel pump is running. If it is not which I would assume it isnt then check the relay. If the relay is not clicking when you cycle the key then replace it. If you have low pressure then try replacing the fuel filter. This could cause low pressure and keep the vehicle from starting. If it is not fuel delivery then there is a problem with your timing or firing order.

I have a 1998 Nissa Maxima with 277K+ miles. I bought this car new and it has run great over the years. Recently when turnig the key to start (cold or hot)the engine starts to crank but sometimes "kicks"...

consider the cost of any work vis a vis the cost of replacing (your pet) bet it works out cheaper to recycle.......( you have to go to switzerland for euthenasia,wonder where cars go.....?)

Your crankshaft sensor doesn't always make the light blink. I'm almost positive it your crankshaft sensor.

I have 1998 Maxima, won't crank or start. Battery was replaced. Where is starter located or any other option?

Check crank sensors first.There are two sensors 1 is by the crankshaft pully (by the drive belts) the other is between the engine and transmission it reads from the flywheel . Good luck.

2003 nissan maxima 3.5

is the check engine light on?? i would suspect your crank angle sensor. replace the cam sensors too. nissan had problem(there is a campaign) with those, so they came out with a crank and cam sensor kits. get the kit ( at a dealer ) and install it. actually have your nissan dealer run your VIN number to see if you don't have open campaign for it, if so, they will replace them for FREE. But that's what I would be looking at if one of those came to me to fix.
