95 Altima starting problem

Simojdavis · Feb 19th, 2012, 09:47 AM

This only happens when its warm. The car will turn over, fire and try to start but will not hold. If I continue to try it gets worse, like it's flooded. I have to let the car sit for 30 mins then it will start right up no problem. It might be fine for a day or two then happen again. Happened last summer. Ran fine all thru late fall and winter, now starting again. Thanks for any suggestions.

for starters, check the ignition coil resistance and then swap out the fuel pump relay with another and see if it changes at all.

Checked the ignition coil resistance. It is 14.8K. The book says it should be 10-12.8K so I will change it out and see how it goes. let you know.

i had really bad starting problems on my altima due to a bad coil. it was 2ohms over the range as well. swapped it out, good as new.

Changed out the coil Monday. So far so good. I think it would have happened by now with the warm weather. Keep you posted. Thanks
