start

I have a maxima 1990 which runs good but for the last few days i noticed it starts in the morning but doesn't start at night. I figure some part doesn't kick in when its a few degrees colder.
Any one knows what it could be?

thx

Luckily u gave more info: "it cranks but no start." ...More details???

Seems u batt and starter sys ok.

Listen to solenoid click. Screwdriver on solenoid, ear on handle. Do this as engine runs, so u know whatsit like.

--->Repeat as no start.

-------------------------------------------------------------

1. If clicks:
- ECU is alive, giving pulses
- wirings ok
- injector coil ok
- injector needle moves, not jammed.

---> spark/nospark?... gas pressure?

-------------------------------------------------------------

2. If no click, ECU might be dead, no pwr. ECU relay stuck (knock on it, change), ign sw worn and does not give ECU 'engine running' signal. Other oxidations...

I havevn't found anyways to start it at night and never could use the car. Then again since weather got back to more normal temperature a few days ago(south, calif.) it has been starting just fine at night so I am sure it has something to do with the outside temp.
