Problem for Nissan 2002 Sentra

Cranking but doesnt start, or intermittently not starting




By sonjeffrey on Jul 02, 2009

" "
after work, is started the car, it cranks but doesnt start.. I used the other key to eliminate keycode problems,. still not working., I removed the sparkplugs and coils to check,all ok.. moved to the fuel pump, it is pumping fuel when ignition on.... tested the injector connectors from ecm... 12V and pulsating 12-0 during cranking....
sometimes it is starting... i suspect now that maybe crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor might be the cause.. but i dont know how to test them....
Please help, Thanks.

My car does the same thing...sometimes it wont start....have to turn the key off then when I crank it again it fires right away. Possible that the in tank fuel pump pressure regulator isn't building to the proper pressure. Nissan did post a recall....under warranty *recall* I might add.... there is an updated pump that will cure the problem but since you most likely are out of warranty it will cast $400+ for the part plus labour if you can't install it yourself. Call nissan to verify if your car is affected by referencing your VIN with them. Dave.
