Car won't start after 15 minutes of trying - then started
Have a 2012 Nissan Vera hatchback.
Went yesterday to start car after not starting it for a week. Would not start for about 15 minutes, then finally started! 1. Battery strong 2. No warning lights or codes 3. When finally started ran it smooth; no miss. 4. Tried starting car by putting the accelerator to the floor; made no difference. How do I trouble shoot this? Where do I start? Would a can of dry gas help? How about fuel injection cleaner? Larry |

Did it refuse to turn over? Did it have a manual or automatic transmission? If it had a manual, was the clutch safety switch completely closed? If it had an automatic was the neutral safety switch completely closed? >1. Battery strong >2. No warning lights or codes >3. When finally started ran it smooth; no miss. >4.

First decide if it's a starter issue (no turning over) or an engine issue (no catching once it turns over). >Would a can of dry gas help? How about fuel injection cleaner? That depends what the problem is. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Been using car the last two days - everything seems fine. Starts right up. Still wondering what could have gone wrong that day. Perhaps something got wet? Again thanks for the input. Larry |

Did the computer see the engine turning? Did the computer even come on at all? A million intermittent things can cause your problem. If the main relay is flaky, the computer won't come on. If the TDC sensor is bad, the computer won't see the engine turning. If the fuel pressure regulator is bad, or the coil is bad the computer will think everything is fine, but the engine won't start. Looking at the logs on the computer will tell you what was going on at the time. You need fuel, air, spark, and timing, and three of those four things are controlled by the computer so the computer logs will show what was happening at the time. The logs won't stay there forever; there is a big ring buffer and they will get overwritten after a few hours of running so it may be too late to diagnose it this time but it'll happen again. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

If it does not fire up the problem is in the ignition.
