I have been test driving a 2005 Altima with less than 27,000. miles on it. I noticed high rpms when starting the car that settled down after about 30 seconds and some hesitation when it shifts (it's an automatic). Do these issues indicate a potential problem with the crank shaft sensor or cooling system problem?

Have you tested the IAC (idle air control) sounds like it's sticking, I have tried to clean them but it was short lived, so once you have determine it's bad (after market $85) I would replace it and solve the problem.
Manually shift thru all gears up & down the scale. Try adding Motorcraft Additive Friction Modifier, available from Ford parts dept. This REALLY STINKS!!! Don't get any on you. Pour into trans fluid. Drive a few miles shifting manually thruthe gears, then do a normal start stop drive several times. This will luburcate trans, normally used for differential but has worked in automatic transmissions of all makes for years. Otherwise mechanical problem for transmission repair facility.
If there is no loss of Coolant, which is a sign of Head gasket failure to the combustion area, which generates white smoke, I would recommend after 4000 miles of your mileage alone, a complete Service of Engine Oil and filter, AIR filter and Fuel filter.
An inexpensive way to find a recurring combustion problem, At 60k miles, the Spark plugs should still be good, but pull them anyway, just to confirm.

Have you tested for the coil with a spark tester if not you should.Also turn key on do not crank or start if you do not hear a grunt sound from back seat area your fuel pump is not working it is the season for these.

Dear Tajack73: Nissan had a voluntary recall campaign on the 2002,2005,2006 Altima's with the 2.5 litre engines It envolves reprogramming the ECM.
The campaign ID # RD0712 NHTSA #: 07V-527
2005 Altima Vin's 1N4AL11**5C 100003-957025
1N4AL11**5N 400000-934180
The symptom you have described fits the one they have describe in the bulletin. Check with Nissan and see if your car falls within the campaign. Let men know how you do.
