Update, The plugs fowled coincidentally after the alternator change due to a failing head gasket. Replaced fowled plugs, engine started, checked oil....chocolate milk! Ugh

LOL, THANK YOU!!

I had to watch a little of this video to remember it, LOL, thanks Mark!!

@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos It was recommended by KZfaq! Good to see they still do that.

@@unclemarksdiyauto WOW, it's about time!!!!

What's bad is that these cars are AS-IS.

Lol I have an 05 1.8S 80k just turned this year & I hear rattling on mine to & bet could use new struts & luv the leaky sunroof even when didn't use that much so caulked it,what irks me is the inside rubber window trim,when U put window down that stuff & tried find replacement stuff but think I found u need new door WTH if didn't wanna put window down I'd Tape it than water run down driver window into the door where Elec windows,locks. Other than a heavy car & boring to drive it's been okay all the years I've had it & luv my airbag recall,took it in & they just unplugged it SMH.... Not sure I'd get another one but for now is ok lol

Hey nakhai1, you know, sometimes I go back on those videos and wondered the same thing! It goes to show I love working on cars, teaching, and helping others. Glad you liked it, and one day when we do our little tour (that won't be too soon though), to meet you guys, we'll stop by.

THANKS SO MUCH! Hopefully they figure out the issue, and be sure to keep us updated on the progress!

Thanks Eric!

I bought a fuel pump for a chevy cav... On amazon or ebay was $30 from usa shipper... Everything was included.

Great info on the coils!!

Thanks Ben!

I Luv doing those,do the easy one 1st & of course it's the hard one to reach lol.

Thanks 👍

That alone is a great lesson to learn! We saw someone on KZfaq (not a Nissan), remove the gas tank, exhaust system, and drive shaft, to get to the fuel pump, only to find out, he could get to it from under the seat, LOL!

@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos thats why i love you tube..you can keep searching to find a good repair video before you start a job..30 plus years ago that could have been me...

Nice work....

I just changed them both, still wont turn on, I also used starting fluid in the air intake to see if it was the fuel pump, but it still won't turn on, what else could it be?

@@enriquemerino8244 You need fuel , air , compression and spark . check the fuel by turning the key on then partially releasing the quick connect to the fuel line under the hood , if you have fuel coming out then your pump is working. Check the air filter and box for obstructions. Do a compression test to make sure your engine can run in the first place . 170 to 180 psi is typical for a newer un-worn engine 155 or so is ok but anything under 135 or a difference in cylinders of more than 15% is trouble . If you have a spark tester test each coil to see if you have a spark . if you have spark fuel and compression may god , Allah , Vishnu or whoever have mercy on your soul because you will need to do a deep dive to fix it . If you have no spark on any of the of the coils the cam / crank sensor probably is the problem . I have had about 4 cases where i buy a new sensor and the new sensor just flat out wont work in the car !! I had to go somewhere else and buy a different brand to get it to work . If at least one works either use a test light to test the ignition signal pulse of each coil or try swapping a non working coil to a working plug to test it because the coil packs in these cars are known to corrode under the plastic tube at and between the spring preventing spark . The valve cover is also know to leak around the tube seals allowing oil into the tubes grounding the spark plugs preventing them from firing and or fouling the connections causing the same issue . I'm pretty sure one of those will fix your problem unless it's electrical in nature , if so you owe the kool - aid man lunch money and you best believe he always collects Oh-Yeah !!!

@@enriquemerino8244 hey man did you ever figure out your probelm? I just bought a 05 maxima to flip and sell the seller said all it needs was a fuel pump but he lied

Yeah i have 2005 altima v6...my car was slow to start this morning..wemt to leave wrk and no start..so i have another same car...i taking cam sensors and crank sensor put on my car ..everything else new on my car so i knkw its those ..there factory .230k on my car

Yes, the fuel pump assembly can be expensive. Have you tried RockAuto.com, they have great prices.

Thank, lol

Did you (anyone) find out what the problem was??? Please

If some of these other shops would think about the customer instead of the bottom line, they wouldn't have to think about the bottom line so much. Just like you said, that is now a repeat customer because they know we won't rip them off.

Thanks phil bullock

Glad it helped Mike, appreciate the compliment!!

@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos You are so very welcome . Your video saved me several $100 dollars at a time when i didn't have it to spare . Thank you so much .

@@MikeSmith-yo9ch ANYTIME!!!

Check injector pulse.

@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos Ok I can dig that. Thanks for the Info. I don't know how to do that yet but I can learn. When I joined the USCG I had a very high mechanical aptitude score and ended up becoming a Boatswainsmate. Anyway. Not spelling haha

just hollow it out

Watch this video and let us know what you don't have kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hpZnesxeyJ_Yp58.html

Have u tried the transmission?

Do you have any codes in the computer? Even if the check engine light is OFF, there still may be codes in there.

LOL, we get so many comments on other videos as well, that I sound like him, THANKS!

LOL, THANKS!

Can you check to see if you have injector pulse and spark?

Swap the main relay with another relay. I've done a lot of these nissans that show many symptoms and wont start and that relay was the culprit. Sometimes they will sell it to you at the dealer sometimes they wont.

Thanks Gee!

Thanks!

Glad it helped

Really sorry, but the customer did not have us do the work. Was the car starting before you changed the fuel pump?

Many thanks!

LOL Roy!!!

Check for spark and injector pulse.

Wassup bro, I did the same exact thing and still my car isn’t starting up just cranking.

Thanks Lamar

If you have a check engine light, start with that. Even if the light is NOT on, there may be codes in "Pending".

No it does not.

Let us know what you find!

Hi, I am using what is called a "Power Probe", which is like a high tech test light. If you don't have one, you can still using jumper wires to test it as well.

Yeah i feel like my pump or the relay is bad but it's only on a cold start which doesn't necessarily make sense. Once it's warm, i can turn it off and on just fine. Ughhhhh

How long does it take to start it when it's cold?

It never really does now. It used to take a couple tries but now, not at all. I can get it going to starter fluid and after that it will be fine when warm. Spark plugs, air intake hose, injectors are all new. Nissan dealer tried to tell me MAF sensor and then battery and now timing chains... i don't have faith in what they keep telling me since they have been wrong a few times now. No Codes that i know of because they cleared them! :(

Thanks!

Hi Maria, if possible, we need you or your friend to take make a video of the car not starting so we can hear how it sounds. If you cannot, we need you to see if it has power to the injectors, and if the computer is sending a signal to pulse the injectors.

⭐ Astral Auto Repairs my friends car cranks exactly like this car on the video. I watch your other videos for ex the 2003 Nissan Altima and my car doesn’t sound like it’s lost compression. I’ll check the injectors like you said and see if thts the probl . Thank you so much I’ll let you know if I figured out the problem.

Did you?

It's cheaper to swap with a new motor with the gran.

Hey Jason, you have to focus on those codes, even though you replaced the sensors. It really seems like you have an issue with the wiring at the sensors, or the ecm is bad.

Astral Auto Repairs would any minor crack in the sensor connector change the outcome?

No

Astral Auto Repairs wait so if there is a crack in the connector it wouldn’t affect the continuity?

Not if there is a crack in the plastic connector

Hey James, do you know if you have spark, fuel, and injector pulse?

Mine was CAM Sensors & so dangerous,if your going down a hill & car just stalls,U have nothing,I couldn't move steering wheel,breaks & think I wrote to Nissan it was scary & mine did the idw start awhile before it just QUIT...

Thank you, really appreciate your comment.

Gilbert California yea... Mine jus went down and now i gotta diagnose in the rain.. O.o fml

What was the problem?

Depends on if you don't have injector pulse as well. Could be a fuse, distributor, computer, broken wire, etc.

its your coil

Hi, so the ac works great during the other temperatures?

Astral Auto Repairs Yes, when the weather good below 40 C° ish the AC works perfect.

That is some HOT weather you have there! Do you know if the compressor is still turning once the air comes out hot?

Astral Auto Repairs Actually I havent tried looking it when the AC stops working that the Compressor Clutch is enguaged or not But I have noticed something strange with it. When this happens I usually turn it off after sometime when I turn it on the AC starts working for few minutes and then again it starts blowing hot air. By this attitude of AC I think that it stop turning (trips).

Astral Auto Repairs Yeah I checked today The compressor stops running when it blows hot air.

You are SO RIGHT!!! Not sure where you are from, but here in Rocky Mount, NC, once you sign that paper for a used vehicle, it is DONE, no warranty, no nothing!!

Astral Auto Repairs I live about a hour from rocky mount in NC . It probably isn’t the same man but I’m sure the man who sold me the car had the same agenda lol. I contacted him 2 days after having the car to get my money back . We didn’t sign anything saying as is and he didn’t say that when talking to us. He wouldn’t give me my money back at all so I been fixing and spending MONEYYYYYYY! On this car. Smh . Is there a code that can tell you if the fuel pump is out. My check engine light just came on and it isn’t the catalytic converter that’s been changed for months now.

No, there's no code for the fuel pump. What code do you have?

I’m going to go to the Auto Store and let them do the code reading to see why the engine light is on at 9, and I’ll let you know which one it is.

My code was p0340 the camshaft position sensor. It did say that my car would loss power possibly and it has lost power while warming up 3 times and also starts hard

LOL!!

Thank you Robert!!

No problem!

@@∆}

THANKS, appreciate that!!

Thanks Mike!

Your welcomehave a good weekend

You too!!

Thanks, really appreciate it.

Does it have spark and is your check engine light on?

It's still no spark from the plugs after all the cam an crank sensor changed. No it's not on

Do you have a way to check injector pulse?

No I don't

Do you have a test light? If you do, unplug one of the injectors, turn the key ON, with the clip from the test light connected to GROUND, test one of the wires at that injector. One of those wires should light up.

LOL Ed! These were the days when I didn't know ANYTHING about so e AL539B, LOL!

Hi AuteleBoy82, do you happen to have any codes in the computer?

⭐ Astral Auto Repairs well at at first it had a code showing misfire on cylinder 4 and when I inspected the spark plugs it had oil all inside the 2 of the cylinders so I figured I changed all 4 spark plugs and coils and valve cover

⭐ Astral Auto Repairs it also seems like when the car sits for about a day it wont start but it cranks strong as if she wants to start. And it runs rough for about 2-3 seconds and then runs okay. I brought this second hand car for my sons graduation gift and owned it for about 2-3 months.

When it does stat, does it also smoke for a little, then clears up?

⭐ Astral Auto Repairs no smoke at. So basically I just did a lil bit of tune up by changing plugs, coils and valve cover. But before all of that ihave noticed that when they car was started and moving it would hesitate/spudder and I would have to give it a lil gas when im moving and it would be okay, so when i did that tune up it ran good for about a day and then back to the same problem again.

Even though the check engine light is not on, there still may be codes in there. We would need some kind of code to go on.

Let us know what diagnostics was taken so far.

@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos I rented one from Auto zone and it showed cam sensor. I changed both cam and crank out. When I hooked diagnostic machine back up everything came up okay. But still would not turn over.

Mine was CAM Sensor & ordered 4 and changed them all & still going..

No problem, and THANKS!

@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos where did you get that cable to diagnose the spark, or can i use a cable and attached the other part to the sensor and between a screwdriver to see if theres any spark?
