Why wont my 2003 Nissan Altima start?

Question

I have 2003 altima 2.5L 4 cylinder with 80,000 miles. For about two weeks sometimes it would crank a couple of times before it started and sometimes it would just start right up. Now it started then died after about a second of running and all it does is crank. IT WONT START. HELP!

Answer 1

You may need to replace your spark plugs. If it isn't that, then your tensioner may have moved a little bit and thrown off the timing. Though it is unlikely because the belt would more often than not come off, but it is either the timing that is off, or bad plugs. Could even be bad wires from the plugs to the solenoids. Take it to a garage, may be epensive but the problem won't just go away.

Answer 2

uhm, make sure it has oil and gas. But that probably isn't the problem.[: you should call the dealer and ask some questions there.

they will probably able to tell you better.

Answer 3

you need new blinker grease fittings  and the muffler bearing might be shot too

the check list is  does it have gas..oil...spark...etc etc..

Answer 4

This could be hundreds of things. I would first start by checking for codes. Then check fuel pressure and compare to the specifications. Also check for spark. Is it weak or is it strong. Best bet is to tow it to a reputable repair facility and have it diagnosed by a professional. Most shops usually only charge on hours labor so figure around 100 dollars. This is money well spent as you can easily spend more than 100 dollars guessing and throwing parts at it, and still have the same situation.
