Is your ses light on? could either be the starter or the Cam position sensor... if the light is on, have you had the codes read? if it's the cam sensor, it's easy to replace yourself and the part is cheap at any autoparts store... if you had code p0340 that's the cam sensor, let me know what you find.

It sounds like your battery is dead. You may be able to fix this with a jump start if you left your lights on over night. If a good jump does not work it may be your starter. but you should start with the simple and cheap solution first. Try having someone jump start your car.

SOURCE: i have an 03 nissan altima engine makes loud clicking noise

1st check the the oil level and the vehicle's oil type.(owners manuel) 5w30-10w30
10w 30 is a thicker oil and could possibly be causing this.(Moves more freely through the engine heats the oil)

SOURCE: My 1999 nissan altima won't start, no crank,not

If you look under the hood, there is a starter relay that might be the problem - but more common than that, - Do you have an alarm system of anykind? If so, It sounds alot like that is the problem, and they are notorious for causing "no start" problems as such - Unfortunatey, the wiring for these (even to just remove one) can be rather involved (as they often cut the starter wire to install an interrupt) so you may have to take it to an auto electric shop, or one that specializes in alarm systems - Also, dealers sometimes install special "electronic lot key systems" in all of their new cars, requiring that the "electronic key" must be present in the vehicle (along with the correct physical key) in order for it to start - I'd check for one of those systems as well - Hope that helps...

Replace fuel pump 2008 nissan altima

iv never known a fuel pump to make lots of clicks when starting. sounds to me like the clicking could be the starter motor either faulty or not having enough power, or a power shortage causing relays to click. check your battery connections if all looks good either charge the battery or try jump leads linked to a good battery.

I have a 2000 Nissan Altima. It has not been used for the past 8 months or so. When I finally jump started the car yesterday, I left it running and drove around for about 30 minutes or so. After parking it...

Buy yourself a volmeter ($10 at walmart) and chevk the voltage if the battery. If the battery was on its way out then yes, cold weather will affect it. Do your headlights go on?. Do the interior lights go on...are the lights dim...you can get a battery at cistco, walmart, or any auto parts store. Good luck

New battery, but car won't start

Try checking the starter for corosion if any is present, first disconnect the battery and remove all the corosion from the starter bolts and starter wires and then give it a try.

2002 nissan altima wont crank?

Check the transmission neutral start inhibit switch is not the cause of your problem. (try both 'P' to 'N' positions).
If the headlights work ok there should be enough power in the battery to at least make a solenoid type noise when start is attempted- so it may not be caused by a faulty alternator.
Check the battery terminals are clean and firmly attached to the battery,
Check battery is properly grounded to the chassis and motor,
Check that +12v is available at the starter motor engage solenoid when the ignition switch is held in the 'start' position - check any start slave relay operation.
If all above is OK, you may have a faulty starter motor.

Water?

The Cap and wires are most likely still wet (must have been a really large puddle). You can open the hood and try to air dry them or get a can of starting fluid and spray the cap and wires to dispel the water. Let the fluid evaporate and try to start the car. Best of luck.

Ticking noise when starting car.

Check your oil level. It sounds like automatic lifter or tappets are draining and have to be pumped back up. 2007 is fairly new but if you don't change your oil often this will happen.

588.00 sounds ok for the brake work if they replaced the front rotors, rebuilt the front calipers and resurfaced the rear rotors.
