I recently purchased an 89 Maxima. The car was running bad and had some trouble starting so I had a tune up done and the fuel filter was replaced. The "skipping" stopped, it cranked right up, and I had no trouble for about 2 weeks. Now I have two problems that may be the same one I suppose. First off, it doesn't want to start. It will turn over but won't catch. I've had a starter go out on a previous car and it isn't the same. The battery and alternator are good. This problem doesn't happen all the time, but is getting more frequent. Sometimes if I give it gas it will catch and sometimes not. Because of this I think it has something to do with the fueling system. The second problem is that when it is cold outside sometimes the car wants to cut off when stopping and has a rough idle if it doesn't cut off completely. This only happens when it is cold. I'm not a mechanic so I don't really know anything about cars so any help would be appreciated.

Hey there,
i have a '93 and it also has a weird starting issue. For mine, I have to turn the key to the "on" position then "Bump" the key forward. The starter makes a scratching sound but i can then turn the key normally and it starts right up. I have never asked what that was 'cause it always seems to work. i wonder if you are having the same problem.
