Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by pragmatistm(m): 3:50am On Jul 08, 2017 |
My Nissan primera P11-144 is not starting for two days now. The engine is SR20DE 2.0 The battery and kick starter are OK. We changed plugs and it keeps making starting/rolling noise but not starting. The only thing is that few days before it finally stopped to start, when parked for long or overnight and started it, there was a tututu sound which went away as I raised it. And I observed about two weeks ago that the smoke coming from the exhaust was peppering the eyes but that had stopped. Please help. 1 Like

This is 4 A.M go for morning prayers. Meanwhile have you checked for spark and fuel supply? |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by pragmatistm(m): 3:56am On Jul 08, 2017 |
SmartchoicesNG:Yes we did that. Fuel supply OKand the spark OK. |

* spark * fuel supply * compression * air supply * all in the right order (timing) What is missing? 1 Like |

pragmatistm:Check timing!!!Especially if your engine is QG18de ,that engine suffers stretch timing chain after some considerable mileage.Did your engine exhibit rattle noice previously to this issue?? |

I would not bother checking timing, fuel pump, injectors, brain box or spark plug, your first point of call should be those two stupid crankshaft and camshaft sensor check their wires well well, test for continuity while rolling, those plastic metallic thing can frustrate your life. It's one of the reason I stayed clear of Nissan 2 Likes |

nurey:Good insight my brother. I and the mechanic have suspected it must be some sensors also. Please where are those sensors located on the engine? |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by pragmatistm(m): 1:05pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
GAZZUZZ:I don't know of air supply but every other thing in list is in good condition. |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by Nobody: 1:06pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
nurey:Trust me, the OP's engine, which is SR20DE does not suffer from these disabilities .As a matter of fact the cam sensor is not the conventional type but a disc integrated into the distributor assembly. Yes, the OP could check his timing if he has troubled things in that area. |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by pragmatistm(m): 1:14pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
Costee:Oga costee, please any insight. I didn't do any recent work on the engine. The last work was servicing and that was about six months now. So I didn't trouble anything. |

pragmatistm: nissan almera and primera uk models are notorious for not starting and throwing a cam shaft sensor error, which most of the time wont be fault the problem would be stretched timing chain hook yours to a diagnostic machine and see what comes up |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by Nobody: 3:02pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
pragmatistm:Since you don't seem to be talking about any codes, I'd settle for the ignition coil, i.e., the distributor assembly sans the distributor cap and rotor head. |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by GAZZUZZ(m): 5:35pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
pragmatistm: possibly build up of carbon in valve area. Loss of compression. Re-check compression 1 Like |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by pragmatistm(m): 6:21pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
GAZZUZZ:Thanks. I will ask the mechanic to check that on Monday. How can we check for the compression actually? Or how will I tell the"Kazeem" mechanic about that for him to understand? |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by pragmatistm(m): 6:23pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
Costee:Thanks sir. But what is the ignition coil? We will check that area also. |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by nurey(m): 6:50pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
pragmatistm: Since the engine you using design is different from the others, I guess the cam and crank sensor is OK. The ignition coil is that long tube you plug after screwing the spark plugs. Since you didn't notice misfire, hard starting and the engine wasn't opened, I guess you can rule out timing, also if you noticed metal shavings while change oil, your timing chain has stretched. I hope you have checked all fuses. I would also go with the compression stuff, since it would rule out a lot of possibilities. |

nurey: with all due respect sir, not very true sir. |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by pragmatistm(m): 7:15pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
nurey:Thanks for the insight sir. |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by nurey(m): 7:30pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
GAZZUZZ: With all due respect sir, it's one of the symptoms sir , not the only symptoms |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:13pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
nurey: chain on gear, nothing chips. It's long term wear you will not see a thing in the oil. Stop arguing |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by nurey(m): 8:19pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
GAZZUZZ: Well it was one of the symptoms I research online then when I was driving my Nissan, I never experienced it anyway, just saying. Yes sir I will stop arguing with you. |

Looking through your profile, I see you had same problem sometime in 2014. How did you solve it back then? You need a compression test kit for the compression test. It comprises of pressure guage and fitters for the engine, please carry out a scan as well. |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by kingreign(m): 8:42pm On Jul 08, 2017 |
nurey:Na when metal bearings and crankshaft metals are starved of oil and engine keeps running you'd see those. But for chain and sprocket to produce metallic shavings? Nehi. Rather, chain may stretch, or snap or break the sprocket teeth. |

pragmatistm:Right before your very eyes to the right-hand side of the engine block. The cap of the unit that takes four cables to the plugs. Oil can gradually find its way into the unit if the seal shielding it from the engine wears down. Oil in the coil simply incapacitates it. Your unit has two connectors. The larger one with six pins (#1-#6) is for the camshaft sensor and power transistor; and the smaller one with two pins (seven & eight) is for the ignition coil. If you have a good rewire the integrity of the unit can easily be determined by checking for continuity between the two pins for the ignition coil. Resistance can also be tested between terminal #5 in the power transistor harness connector and terminal #7 in the harness connector for the ignition coil. If negative results are returned for either or both that might just be your culprit. Yes, a compression test should do no harm, hoping you could have immediate access to that at your location. The maximum required for any of the cylinders is 185 psi and a minimum of 156 psi, with a maximum of 14psi allowed for variation between cylinders. |

Costee:Thanks sir. I seriouslysuspect the distributor cap because I have noticed much oil around that place. But who does the compression test? |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by pragmatistm(m): 4:55am On Jul 09, 2017 |
timifakay:Not exactly same problem. That of 2014 was caused by damaged flywheel that was replaced to solve the problem. 1 Like 1 Share |

pragmatistm:why suspecting distribution again when u have earlier stated that you have a spark. For the compression test ,where are you located?? |
Re: Nissan Primera P11-144 Not Starting by Nobody: 9:13am On Jul 09, 2017 |
honmusa:Fine query. Saw that too. But I discern some diffidence in the OP that makes me take his evidence with a pinch of salt. |
