1995 Nissan Maxima starting problem

Once a week or so when I turn the key to start the car, there is no sound at all and the trouble lights come on. If I move the shift lever back and forth from P to R a few times and turn the key,, it will start right up. Also, it will just stop running when I come to a stop light unless I put it into neutral. Over the past year we have replaced a fuel injector, a fuel filter and a radiator. The car has 150,000 miles. The check engine light comes on and goes off periodically. I love this car because the engine runs like a new car most of the time.

    The car was parked and then was unlocked through a window and put in to neutral to be able to be moved. The alarm went off and car does not start anymore when key is in ignition.

You may need a new ECM/computer. This model car is known for water leaking into the ECM from your air box. The drain hole in the bottom of the box gets clogged and after a while, your ECM gets flooded, because the water has no place to go, but onto your ECM, frying vitale circuits. Check your passenger side floor by the feet to see if its wet.

"Warning Lights" on the dashboard of "1995 Nissan Maxima"

The warning lights coming on with the key in the on position is normal. If the key is turned to the start position and the engine will not crank over, suspect an internal starter motor problem or lack of power to the starter solenoid. You can try tapping on the starter motor with a blunt object while someone holds the key in the crank position to see if it starts when this problem occurs. If it starts using this procedure, the starter motor will be defective

My 1995 Nissan Maxima wont start. I smell gas.

Sounds like a bad fuel pump, check if the smell comes under the rear wheels and also check for a loud humming noise when the key is turned to on. Those are signs of a bad fuel pump.

My 1995 Nissan maxima Gle won't start. Everything lights up when I turn the key. What's wrong with it?

Does it even try to turn over, as in engine cranking? Tried a boost, if yes what happened?

Engine cranking but no start

If your key is not programmed for the car, then it will have this issue. I bought a 99 Maxima 3 weeks ago. One of the keys was programmed and worked perfectly. The other would turn the car over and stop it immediately. If you do this too many times without the key being programmed from the dealer or another source, it will erase all keys that are programmed and lock down the ignition.

1991 nissan maxima/ only occasionally during cold will not start

If it happens only when it rains it means that water or moisture is getting under the distributor. The distributor needs to be replaced. Good Luck. Let me know how it turns out.
