problem #2

Aug 102006

Maxima 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 143,000 miles
The contact owns a 1996 Nissan Maxima. The contact must make 5 or 6 attempts in order to start the vehicle. Occasionally, he must depress the accelerator pedal to the floor for the vehicle to start. The failure occurs each time he attempts to start the vehicle, especially after it has been parked for several hours. If the vehicle has been driven and is still warm, it takes 2 or 3 attempts to start. The mechanic suggested that the failure may be fuel system related and he replaced the fuel pump, filters, wiring harness, and starter. The contact stated that the transmission is difficult to shift. He believes that the electrical sensor is not reading correctly. The purchase date and dealer information were unavailable. The current mileage was 157,000 and failure mileage was 143,000.
