I have a 94 Nissan Pathfinder and sometimes it wont start ?

Question

My pathfinder wont start after driving it awhile, you have to let it sit about 30 min and then it will start, is this a starter or cylinoid problem?

Answer 1

try to change the gas pump, and if that doesn't fix it, just light a match and throw it in, that will defininetly get things going, jaja

Answer 2

Does the vehicle start right away after the 30 min or does it take a while?

If it starts right away then you might have a fuel injection problem.  However, if it takes a min or two then you might have a cylinoid, ingiontion coil, distributor, or starter problem.  I can't tell you exactlly with out listening to the car.

Take it to a mechanic and ask him what the problem might be.

Answer 3

sounds like an ignition module. you can take it off and have it tested at autozone. I f not that then the electric fuel pump may be going bad (it makes a whirring sound when you turn the ignition and sounds different when going bad a more weak whir). usually when a starter or solenoid goes bad they go out completly. when it wont start bang the starter a little with a hammer and it might work. Autozone can check those but make sure you have a good employee because alot of those guys dont know what they are doing and misread info. I used to work there trust me.
