I posted about this intermittent start problem before. But there is
another symptom I forgot to mention, maybe it is important: Often,
after turning the key all the way to "start" ands holding it there,
there will be nothing happenning for one or two seconds, then the
engine will start to turn over, and fire up.
I had a parts store hook up a machine to the battery and they said
the battery is good, and so is the alternator.
I've never encountered this before. It's as though something has to
build up a charge before the current is allowed through. Any ideas
welcome !
Thanks |

terminals and inside the cables?

I have occasionally seen this in starters beginning to go bad. If you can
see a path to the starter, have a helper smack it with a broom stick when
you first turn the key and see if that makes it suddenly start. If it does,
then the problem is the starter. >> Stay informed about: Delayed start 96 Sentra |

Or dead spot in the windings. Does Nissan sell solenoids separately or make
you buy a whole starter like many others do? >> Stay informed about: Delayed start 96 Sentra |

you can have an open winding,or a short in the windings,but no "dead spot".

I don't know.
My Acura Integra didn't have a separate solenoid,but I found a place that
sold a rebuild kit,cost me $30 total.
the hardest part was getting the starter out to work on it.

Thanks agin for the replies. Well, it finally went totally dead, so
I had a mechanic look at it. It was the ignition switch ! Since he
installed a new ign sw, the car has been fine for 2 days now. >> Stay informed about: Delayed start 96 Sentra |
