⭐ 2006 Nissan Altima - Does Not Start - Cranks No Start 

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.

Thank, lol

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!!

Thanks Lamar

Thanks!

Thanks phil bullock

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

Thanks!

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

@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos It was recommended by RU-vid! Good to see they still do that.

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

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

ManicMechanic007 Tim died.

Thanks 👍

Thanks Ben!

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

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

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

Thanks, really appreciate it.

Thank you, really appreciate your comment.

Thanks Eric!

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

Many thanks!

Great info on the coils!!

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

Thanks Steve Smth!

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?

@@victorrodriguezlopez2820 Harbor Freight for around $5

Thank you!!

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

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!!!

No it does not.

That alone is a great lesson to learn! We saw someone on RU-vid (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...

LOL, THANKS!

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

Are you checking for voltage WITHIN the first 5 seconds after the key is put into the on position or while the engine is cranking?

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

its your coil

No problem, and THANKS!

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

Thanks!

THANKS!

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

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

Does it crank?

Glad it helped

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! :(

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

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.

Thank you Robert!!

No problem, and THANKS!

That is going to be tough for us to answer, being that was a HUGE job. All we can recommend is going over EVERYTHING you did, and hopefully, you will see something loose, broken, or disconnected.

Thanks Gee!

No problem!

@@∆}

You're welcome, and THANKS!

Do you know what model that crosses over to here in the United States?

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.

His needs both. It needs a cc which is a separate problem, and the fuel pump which is why the car doesn't start.

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.

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...

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

LOL!!

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.

Follow this video and let us know what you DON'T have: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P07Gi-c9twk.html

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.

just hollow it out

Check for spark and injector pulse.

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

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.

Do you have a check engine light on? Could be a misfire

@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos No. No lights. It's an older truck 91 Chevrolet Blazer S10 wit the 4.3. Only does the vibration at stop lights.

It is possible a motor mount could be bad, and when you step on the gas, the engine would lift off the frame.

@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos Thanks for the good info. Come to find out it was a bad motor mount. The one the left side by the drivers side finder wall. I think i going to replace then all since there not that expensive.

I really don't want to answer yes because someone might see our comments, and try it WITHOUT taking safety precautions, causing a fire, injury, or death, so my answer is NO!

The best advice we can give is for him to back track EVERYTHING he did. Something was left disconnected or a wire might have gotten pinched.

Thanks!

How do I marriage the new parts I put n without computer

You will have to take it to someone to program it.

LOL Roy!!!

Hey Antonio, is yours the fuel pump also?

Hey David, from what you are saying, it is still not getting fuel. Do you know if it has spark and injector pulse?

I went to check the spark and counting from left to right the 4th coil pack sleeve is full of motor oil I ordered a new valve cover hopefully cleaning this up and replacing the pack and plug will solve it
