Nissan Repair: HARD START, nippondenso, time press
QuestionTHE LAST FEW DAYS MY WIFES 2002 ALTIMA 2.5S HAS BEEN HAVING A HARD START CONDITION COLD-EXCESSIVE CRANK TIME,PRESS ON GAS WILL START THEN STALL,FLOOR IT AND IT WILL START.OUTSIDE TEMP HAS BEEN BELOW 20 DEGREES.RECALL WAS PERFORMED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO
AnswerDan,
Yes, the recall was performed and the problem still is there. I would perform a complete tuneup to include plugs (Nippondenso or NGK) platinum. Use Lucas gas treatment. Nissan does not recommend gas treatments and Lucas is the only one that I have found that works to clean out the injectors without causing damage. The other option is a block heater that Nissan sells.
