Check all your connections, make sure they are all clean & tight. Do you have a multimeter available for a voltage check at battery, before & after starting?

There is a problem with the fuel pump. This is a known problem with the 2006 Sentra and the dealer should have known this. Get your money back

SINCE YOUR PROBLEM IS MOST COMMON WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT ,IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE YOUR SOLENOID.REMEMBER ELECTRICAL WIRES ARE BETTER CONDUCTORS WHEN COOL .SO AS THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE GETS HOTTER THE WIRES ABILITY TO CONDUCT CURRENT DROPS OF .SOLENOID INSULATION MIGHT BE BREAKING DOWN AND CAUSING A DROP IN CURRENT THERE BY INHIBITING THE STARTER FROM TURNING . IF NOT CHECK YOUR STARTER MOTOR .EG BRUSHES,AMATURE AND FIELD COILS .

Have intermiate starting problem. Sometimes will start up and sometime cranks several attempts then will try and start then once finally starts after many attempts will chug for a few seconds then runs...

Sounds like you may have a fuel injector bleeding off when you shut it off, causing a flooding problem. If you can test the fuel pressure to see if it loses pressure after the engine is turned off that would help diagnose the problem. Depending on what vehicle it is, it could also be a bad fuel pressure regulator.

Sputtering while driving and running funny.

It could be a clogged fuel filter or you could have a old gas coated inside the carbrator. Seafoam will fix that up in a hurry. Don't be supprised if it blows smoke its cleaning all the junk bout of your carbrator. I would start with the simpelist things first. Fuel filter Check your carbrator Throttle adjustment Fuel pump relay Defiantly get a Haynes manual it will trouble shoot you through your problem.

It is sometimes hard to start my jetta tdi. When this happens and I finally get it started, qite a bit of thick smoke comes out of the exhaust. Any thoughts?

It is hard starting my VW 2003 Jetta. It usually take 5 to 10 cranking before it turns over. Then it run normally. It only happens when the car has not been driven for about 6 hours.

My cavalier chugs and pulls back when ur driving, there is also black smoke coming out the tail pipe and extremely hard on gas

It is definitely flooding. Running rich. your ignition system is definitely in good shape if it is running. Your problem lies in your emmissions system. I would start with the Oxygen sensors. then to the map sensors, etc

Truck is blowing out black smoke. and if i give it gas it will run but if i let it ideal it cuts off?

Black smoke usually means the fuel mixture is too rich. Sounds like a choke/flooding problem.

My car is barely starting (tuning over). each time I try it gets even worse. It feels like the battery is low but nothing was left on. 2006 Nissan Pathfinder - same problem, started like a champ 2 days...

Check all your connections, make sure they are all clean & tight. Do you have a multimeter available for a voltage check at battery, before & after starting?
