TURNS OVER BUT WILL NOT START

It sounds like it wants to start but it won't turn over, getting plenty of fuel and fire

did you try putting pedal down? when did this start happening?

Yes I did push the pedal down. Also replace the distributor cap on it. Went to start it this morning after leaving the battery unhooked and it sounded like is was going to roll over twice but didn't

last time it was running was your CEL on? anything happen/symptoms prior to this no start?

Nope it ran the same as it always has...

is it a 3.0 or 3.3?

Engine Mechanical problem
1992 Nissan Pathfinder 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 278 KM miles

My car cranks strong but won't fire. In the last couple months, maybe every 20th time I drive it, the engine will almost die as soon as I touch the gas pedal but it idles perfectly. Eventually after pushing the gas several times it goes back to normal.

This used to only happen right when I started the car until two days ago when something similar happened as I was driving along and it seemed like the engine lost a lot of power. I'd hit the gas pedal but almost nothing would happen. The engine didn't sound like it was going to stall, it just had no power. This went away after about 20 seconds of driving and it was back to normal.

I haven't driven the car since then and just now when I tried to start it won't fire.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

3.3

can you remove plug to see if it's wet/dry/worn?

if dry,try squirting some gas in intake to see if it runs?

Okay took it to the shop and they said it was the plugs they changed the plugs and told use to get a new mass air flow sensor hose so we did. Now it starts but it stalls out and dies sometimes it will run fine

check engine light come on?

Yes it was it came in but went off the next day, it ended up being the distributor. Thanks for your time

i have a 1994 nissan pathfinder. It will turn over but wont start. could it be a relay gone bad, if so which one

**Cranks but no start condition:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem,Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.

Im having trouble with my car, I have a brand new battery in it, and the starter is less than 6 months old. I have a good connection on the battery and all the lights come on when the key is turned to the on position. There is plenty of gas in the car.

After all this i cannot seem to get the car to start. When I turn the key to the start position i hear nothing, no clicks, no noises. I cannot seem to diagnose the problem.

I want to put off taking the starter and starter solenoid assembly, because on my model of truck it is really difficult to get out. Any and all help would be great. Thank you for your time.

No crank at all/nothing/nada:

Could be a blown fusible link the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good. Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.

Car just wouldnt start up the other day. Ive replaced the battery, battery cables, tested the alternator, which was good, and replaced the starter/solenid. Its not making any kind of noise when I turn the key. Please Help

Check and test the inhibitor switch and ignition switch
