On hot days, you have to turn the ignition switch several times (sometimes up to 50) before the vehicle will start. There is a click each time, but you have to just keep turning the key until it finally catches. Manual tranny, have to have clutch in to start. Never have this problem in winter.
Replace the ignition switch, most all 1993 and 1994 Nissan pickups had bad ignition switch's
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 .
I have a 93' pathfinder of my own, but mine just has no spark, and o know that's the ognition swith is bad as well, I tested the coil from the power out of the battery directly and it shocked me from the other end so it's not that. I think it might not be getting any power, could it be a relay or the ignition switch???? Please help!
I have '95 Nissan pickup and just went through battery and starter replacement to find out it was the ignition switch. Fortunately accessing it is super easy with the removal of about 8 screws and no steering wheel removal needed. To know if it really is the switch, depress the clutch and turn the key to start position and then lightly tap the switch (tube shaped on top of steering column). For me, my car immediately starts but I look like a **** driving like that.
