My 95 maxima was hard starting if the engine was cold.  Would always start
easily if the engine was warm. Too make a long story short it turned out
to be the ignition switch wiring harness.  There is (for my car) an extra
contact between run & 'starter engagement' that sends an 'early start'
signal to the computer.

Guess the signal is used to adjust amount of fuel during cold start
situations.  Part was ordered from autozone & the new part arrived in a
Nissan box. Took about one hour to install. Cost was around $30.
