2004 Nissan Murano SL periodically wont start.

My wife's 2004 Murano SL take three to six cranks to turn over and sometimes won't start. I have put a new battery and fuel pump in it. I have tried injector cleaner in the fuel. I have even tried turning the key to the on position to let the fuel pressure build up to eliminate the pressure valve. The check engine light is on, reads code p0340 which is Camshaft position sensor circuit malfunction. Could this be related? Once the car is running it runs great. Any help would be great. I have read a couple places that the ECM could be going out.

I would replace your cam shaft position sensor. It can cause the car to start hard and run bad if it is bad. Let me know what engine you have and I will be able to tell you where it is located.

SOURCE: code reads P0340 Camshaft position Sensor circuit

That makes the computor think the timing is off. Replace the sensor and see if that does it. You will then have to have the code cleared (erased) or the light will come back on/stay on.

2004 Nissan Murano SL AWD starter motor replacement.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moves to sub category.

Videos in the link, plus places to buy one. There are lots of pretty pictures on the images tab. What makes you think you need a new starter? I am worried you are a young anonymous female about to get ripped off. Generally only females post anonymously.

2007 Nissan Murano, cranks but wont turn over can't figure it out

If the engine sounds as if it wants to start, it is possible that you just have too much gas in the manifolds or in the cylinders. Try the following: Turn on the ignition but do not start. Hold down the gas pedal for a minute or two. Then start the car without releasing the pedal. I know some will say this method will not work with "drive by wire" systems such as MO's but I think it will.

More than likely though, the problem could be the anti theft system interfering, or locking down the ignition. Close all doors and then using your key (not the fob) lock and unlock the doors several times and then try.

Beeping sound in 2005 nissan murano

Mine did the same thing. I had the battery replaced on the controller.and it still beeped. Then I took my key and put it in the ignition, without turning the key and took it out. Did this like 6 times and the long beep finally stopped.

2007 nissan versa wont start sometimes motor turns over but wont crank

When you turn the key to start & the motor turns
or turns over that is the same thing as the crankshaft
turning you call won't crank

So you need to say my engine turns over but it will
not start

You need to check for fuel pressure & spark

Most likely you will need the help of a repair shop
