My Car takes about 5 seconds till it starts and then immediatly dies! What to do??

Question

i just changed the spark plugs and checked them and they are all good the spark plug wires are good to. When it finally turns over i cant even give it gas to keep it going, there is no throttle response. Also before it started giving me trouble my RPM gauge went out.

It feels like theres no fuel getting somewhere to keep it running.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I Do not think ingnition coil over spark plug has any plug wires. That said there is a good chance the air filter to intake manifold has a air leak or it is time to replace the airflow meter. In data monotor the AFM nededs to make over 4 volts if it does not bogging down and initial throttle causes the engine to lean out.

Answer 2

Lots of things can cause this type of problem,I would do a test to see how much fuel pressure you have at the test port on the fuel rail if it has one .You will need a Chilton's manual to see what it should be.I've seen crank position sensor cause the same type of problem on two types of vehicles.I don't know if your Nissan has one,again check the manual,it may even have a trouble shooting section.The main computer can also cause your problem.Possibly a throttle position sensor.
