2010 Altima push button won't start
I have a 2010 Altima. When I push to start the car, it cranks but doesn't start. It seems like it tries a few times, doesn't start, then gives up. I've checked that the brake lights come on when I push the brake pedal, have a full tank of gas, and the headlights come on. Used a ODBII scanner but no codes. The dash lights seem to be normal. Any ideas?

Does it crank slow? If the battery is weak it may not turn over fast enough.

I tried jump starting and that didn't make any difference. I also turned on the headlights and attempted to start the car, and it seemed to crank about the same. Does that seem like a good test? I haven't had the battery tested, though.

Get a can of starting fluid, spray some into the air cleaner box and try to start it. Report back with the results.

Cutting fuel to the injectors is exactly what I want to happen. There is a good chance that if multiple attempts were made to start the car it is indeed flooded. If it is, cutting the fuel will start the car. |
When you said engine cranks and then just give up, I interpret that as battery just run out of juice. Your car is fairly new, so with exception battery discharge from over cranking I rule out the Starter, and fuel delivery. fuses and relays (ecm relay, fuel pump fuse & relay, ignition relay) are a possibility. jump starting did not work so its not battery.
A little over a week ago there was a very similar scenario like yours. the only diffference is you haven't removed your battery for testing or install a new battery. i am convinced the anti-theft immobilizer was triggered because of so much cranking. i believe you can only cranks a number of times after which the ECM will put vehicle in lockdown mode. their mechanic told them to do the anti-theft reset procedure and "VOILA" car started. i am not aware the reset is available on 3rd gen Altima but this Nissan is a Maxima. so here's the link on this forum. try this and let us know if that work. http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/newre...uote=1&p=87097 |
