@ OP does your maxima uses 2 speed reference sensor (crankshaft sensor) if it does and the engineer knows its the culprit make sure both are changed. Can you at least snap a pix of the cam sensor and let see if its something some one has here |

mayor2013: An update on the issue. He later got a working sensor. Said he use it to start a Murano with the same engine and it started but still my car will not start. He really do not know what exactly could be d issue now. |

This is beginning to make a mountain out of a mole. The Max uses two camshaft sensors. The camshaft sensor is literally to be found on every court yard! If you've diagnosed that to be the problem then contact Nissparts and get new ones and not Toks. |

steveyen: But this car starts prior to now. You only complained of starting and after a while it stalls. Location of this car and lets see what we can do |
Re: Please HELP Needed For My Car- Starting Issues!!!! by steveyen(m): 9:04pm On Nov 22, 2016 |
Costee: Well the auto mechanic said he has got the two working sensors but still car will not start. No spark detected. So he is confused as to know what else to check. |
Re: Please HELP Needed For My Car- Starting Issues!!!! by Nobody: 9:24pm On Nov 22, 2016 |
steveyen:Since you've introduced many ecm, scanning would avail little now, excepts its a NATS issue [Does the security indicator light go off or stay on when you turn the ignition to the "on" position?]. I think you should fix back the original ecm and cam sensors, but change the crank sensor. The VIAS too is still lurking. |

mayor2013:Partly why I said he was blowing hot and cold. |
Re: Please HELP Needed For My Car- Starting Issues!!!! by steveyen(m): 10:06pm On Nov 22, 2016 |
Costee: I will check the NATS issue tomorrow with the mechanic |

@OP Sorry you're in this predicament. I suggest you do a lot of reading up on Maxima forums to have a complete understanding on what the real issue is. Remember no be every autoguru here Sabi Nissan and this guess work is not helping matters. I wonder why the ECU was tampered with in the first place |
Re: Please HELP Needed For My Car- Starting Issues!!!! by steveyen(m): 9:42pm On Nov 23, 2016 |
Lacomb: Thanks for the encouragement. The problem now is that the Mechanic is at loss of idea. |
Re: Please HELP Needed For My Car- Starting Issues!!!! by steveyen(m): 9:47pm On Nov 23, 2016 |
aieromon: You are right. Not all autoguru sabi Nissan. I am beginning to see this now. I can see clearly the issue is beyond the guy. i told d guy abt the ECU but he said it has to be the ECU and with all the oscilloscope , computers etc I saw with him I was of the opinion he really knows this things. |

diportivo: Diportivo n Gazzuz while una dey laff naa ? Make una help a brother ohhh |
Re: Please HELP Needed For My Car- Starting Issues!!!! by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:55pm On Nov 23, 2016 |
steveyen: wallahi I am praying for you, prayer is a epp. If the technician can open on sunday, and will allow external help, I can sacrifice an hour on sunday. |
Re: Please HELP Needed For My Car- Starting Issues!!!! by steveyen(m): 9:55pm On Nov 23, 2016 |
nissparts: We are looking into this. But the guy said he feels that's not the issue because we are not getting spark at all at the coils. |
Re: Please HELP Needed For My Car- Starting Issues!!!! by steveyen(m): 10:39pm On Nov 23, 2016 |
GAZZUZZ: He is now more than willing to accept external help. He seems to be at lost now. He is now mentioning that the signal plate attached to the flywheel should be the culprit because it is the one that is primarily behind the crankshaft signal sent to the ECM. We would really appreciate your one hour on Sunday and I guess I really need all the prayer I can get now. |
Re: Please HELP Needed For My Car- Starting Issues!!!! by Nobody: 10:49pm On Nov 23, 2016 |
Did you look out for the security light? What ECM is in the car now? The original one or another? |
Re: Please HELP Needed For My Car- Starting Issues!!!! by mayor2013: 12:20am On Nov 24, 2016 |
steveyen: I volunteer as well to come in on Sunday. |
Re: Please HELP Needed For My Car- Starting Issues!!!! by Nobody: 12:26am On Nov 24, 2016 |
nissparts:This is perhaps not to be ignored. Refer your mech to this http://www.justanswer.com/nissan/4n8q7-2004-nissan-maxima-will-crank-won-t-start.html PS. Lucky you. You now have a coterie of consultants volunteering to enter the fray |

Update on this. Compression test was carried out on the engine front three cylinders. Results : 115 psi, 115 psi and 125 psi The mechanic is now saying it is the timing chain. He said for this Maxima engine this compression test results is very low. |

Re: Please HELP Needed For My Car- Starting Issues!!!! by Nobody: 9:09am On Nov 25, 2016 |
steveyen:You have your answer. This is corroborated by the link I referred to above. The car needs a compression pressure of 142psi minimum but preferably 185psi standard. Your ignition timing should be 15° ± 5° BTDC. When this is over don't forget to send a bottle of champagne to Nissparts for originally drawing attention to it. PS. Going through this thread once again, I think your mech is fairly equipped and competent. The fact is, the peculiarity of certain makes could surely tax the proficiency of the professional. 2 Likes |
