Crazy starting problem ???
I have a 1994 Nissan 4X4 pick up automatic with the 3.0 motor, the problem is when I go to start my truck, I turn the key, hear a click and I hold the key in the start position and in about 2 to 4 seconds the truck will crank and start. The 2 to 4 seconds I'm holding the key nothing happens and then all of a sudden she'll start cranking and start right up. Any ideas what's causing this?
Thanks Joe |

Look for loose or corroded battery cables.

Bad starter. Almost definitely. The only other thing it could be is a bad switch. Next time try jiggling the key while holding it in the start position. If that seems to improve it, it might be the switch.

Turned out to be a bad battery.
