Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / June 200499 Maxima Hard Sarting HELP!
Hi, I have a 99 Maxima and sometimes the car take a few tries to start. Does this sound like an ignition coil about to go? I have 90k and have changed two of the coils about 2 years ago. I recently changed the air filter and did the plugs at 65k. Any advice would be appreciated. Here are some coils on Ebay... you may want to cross-reference the part numbers with your dealer to be sure they will fit: "http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2478725169&ca tegory=33689&sspagename=WDVW" Also check with courtesyparts.com - they have very good pricing on OEM parts. Another website that sells OEM parts at a discount is 1stnissanparts.com - they have coils for a 2000 Maxima for around 50 bucks/piece. HTH, Nirav 96 Max GLE, 106k What a great deal. Too bad that they are for 2000 and above. Thanks for the heads up. > Hi, > > I have a 99 Maxima and sometimes the car take a few tries to start. Does > this sound like an ignition coil about to go?

Did you think to check the water level in the battery? Also check the charge and hook it up to a trickle charger using the 2amp setting. If you still have the original battery then it could be time for a new one. Take it to a garage for a test. They'll tell you what shape it's in. Don't know if this is your problem but our 95 was slow starting until it warmed up. Turned out that the ignition switch sends a 'start' signal to the computer just before the switch engages the starter. The switch was worn and the 'start' signal was delayed. Guess this signal must tell the computer to alter fuel during start procedure. Our slow starting problem turned out to be the ignition switch was worn on our 95 maxima. The ignition switch on the 95 sends a 'start' signal to the computer 'just before' the starter is engaged. This signal was delayed/missing and the engine would not start very well if the engine was cold. |
