solid snake Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Whats up everyone. Yesterday when I left jack in the box to go back to work I tried to start my beast and it just clicked and a few seconds later the engine started. I got to work and turned her off then turned her on again and it did the same thing. I turned her off and on again and now the problem is gone. I hope it's just the starter and not something even more expensive. It has not done this since yesterday. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 When it did finally turn over, was it slow.. as if the battery lacked proper power? If it did get the battery and charging system checked out. If it seemed to have normal power then it sounds like the starter solenoid is going. It is located on the side of the starter and I am not sure if it can be replaced separately from the starter on a Nissan (not sure if anyone sells just them) so a starter replacement may be needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solid snake Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 It started pretty normally, The way it happened, was that I turned the ignition on then it popped, then 2 seconds later, it started normally. Where the hell is the starter at anyway's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Its below the right hand exhaust manifold at the back of the engine. It mounts to the front of the transmission using two bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yozsi Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 the starter solenoid is known to go on these cars because the damn oil filter unloads right on it, also the starter relay is a known culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solid snake Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Ok, I'm still replacing the starter. managed to pull it out above the CL, man was this a PITA!!!. I was trying to get it off and I finally thought it was going to be a walk in the park, when I had to push it thru. I'm still waiting for the replacement starter. I hope it gets here soon, cause I gotta go to work tomorrow and I hope it's not as hard pushing it thru to install again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 If the oil pressure falls too low with the sender not plugged in, it won't light up the Oil light and let you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
