Nissan Xtrail 2.5 XL Does Not Start by aji2000(m): 7:57pm On May 08, 2020 |
Please my elders and automobile gurus in the house. Please urgently assist with solution to my Nissan xtrail suv. It suddenly developed a strange issue of not starting when cold or in the morning. This vehicle was bought toks 3 months ago and was driving fine until this sudden issue. After through research on the internet, I gave a technician cash to purchase a cam position sensor which we changed but still the vehicle keeps cranking without starting. I need assistance as this issue is driving me crazy |

Those sensors are 2...you should have changed both...there's one on top and one down... |

TPound: Good morning my ogas, well when the issue occured at first, the technician insisted that the challenge was the cold start sensor beside the cam shaft position sensor. I disagreed with him and told him I was sure it's the cam shaft sensor that was bad which he reluctantly removed and bought another one from ladipo. The one he bought was actually toks, and I asked him how sure he was it's working. He told me the guy that sold it to him said it was tested ok. Hence when we fixed it in the vehicle it still didn't start. He is now insisting that I should have listened to him and allowed him to remove the cold start which he alleged is the problem. I am trying to get a scanner so we can read the error code from the vehicle. However is it possible it could be the cold start sensor as well? 1 Like |

Has the Giy checked for sparks on the plugs? If no sparks, then check the crankshaft sensor. I can't remember now, but I think your car has a distributor assembly. Check if the timing on it is off, or the rotor in it is bad. PS: You're supposed to scan that car first, than experimenting before now. It won't cost you much, than throwing money at parts. 1 Like |

aji2000:You omitted two vital pieces of information. The year of your X-Trail, and whether or not your check engine light is on. What is this cold start sensor? Crankshaft position sensor? The crankshaft position sensor is interchangeable with the camshaft position sensor. Since all you're doing for the moment is guess work might as swap the sensors and let's see what happens. |

Costee: Sorry about that, my Nissan is a 2005 model T30 engine. The only light that flashes is service engine soon light, and I was planning to change the oil and service it but was constrained by the lockdown. So you mean the sensors are the same? I am having difficulty getting a scanner for the vehicle |

aji2000: The QR2.5 is not actually known for cam and crankshaft sensor wahala. start by checking the NATS, then Spark and fuel pump. Then start by scanning and work with codes. Mostly when diagnosing those two sensors, always check the wire and ensure it hasn't split in-between 1 Like 2 Shares |

aji2000:That only light is the check engine light, and if indeed it's flashing not solid on then there's a serious issue. Stop driving it until it's scanned. |

Oga, you and your mechanic did not diagnose before you start swapping out parts, have you checked for fuel, have you checked for spark have you checked for compression, have you checked if the nozzles are been actuated. Alot of things can disable your ignition system. Go and scan your vehicle and perform basic diagnostics before you start throwing parts, you problem might even be a blown out fuse sef. 1 Like |

Please house, I am being asked to pay 7k just to have my car scanned. Please does it cost that much? |
Re: Nissan Xtrail 2.5 XL Does Not Start by nurey(m): 10:47am On May 10, 2020 |
aji2000: there is no standard price for that, but you can add something to it and buy your own personal scanner though maybe limited in function but would pickup the most basic error codes needed. if it's possible to bargain the price do and let them give you the codes and interpretation as stated by the machine. |

aji2000: Try to find someone that has the scanner. It should really be free for a basic scan or better yet buy one yourself. |

2felix: The xtrail is actually a very good suv, the challenge here is getting the right technician and mechanics. N.B: So far the issue has being resolved. I had the vehicle scanned and it gave a P0340 error, cam shaft position sensor as I presumed. The one purchased by the technician I contacted was bad that is why it didn't work when we inserted into the vehicle. What we did was to clean the place where then sensor, and it worked instantly. Although I am still skeptical about my sensor because when I started the car this morning it wasn't idling well. I plan to have it serviced asap and also get a new sensor. Please what kind of oil would you guys recommend for an xtrail suv 2005. I will keep you guys posted as events unfolds. Thank you 2 Likes |

aji2000: my advice to you is to get a brand new sensor if from radautos or order from AliExpress especially if it is made with plastic because the next werey the sensor go do, last last you go tow that car home. 1 Like

aji2000: Using AliExpress is actually straight forward. I would have helped you but I am not available to use the service. just download the app and provide your address and a naira MasterCard and you are on your way to freedom. the step is very much available in phone section and technology section. I can also assist you to set it up |

nurey: with all the tales of aliexpress shipping and delivery woes due to the international trade disruption, best to suspend any international orders till things stabilise |
Re: Nissan Xtrail 2.5 XL Does Not Start by Nobody: 4:08pm On May 11, 2020 |
aji2000:You're confusing two issues. The poor idling has nothing to do with the camshaft sensor. That has to do with the serious misfiring (blinking SES light) you had. You didn't tell us how that P0304 was resolved. Yes, the camshaft sensor may be on its way out but it seems to me that the cold hard start is the result of the P0304 (on the edge of P0300, multiple misfiring). Camshaft sensors misbehave when the engine is hot, not cold. If you must buy a new one ensure it's oem, or else you'll still get disappointed. 2 Likes |
