nissan sentra hard starting

we changed the plugs and coolant sensor but still it's starting hard in the morning or when the engine cooled down, i need to hit the gas everytime im having hard starting just to make it start. i was thinking it could be the gas pump but my mechanics said its not the gas pump.

Re: nissan sentra hard starting

there's no rotor cap for my nissan, it's a direct ignition as they call it. there's no corrotion on the wiring. the hard starting happens or it didnt start at all when the engine is cold. sometimes I have to pump gas just to help it start. the starter is good you can hear a good cranks but theres no fire.

Re: nissan sentra hard starting

there is a fuel pump repair kit for long crank / hard start when cold. There is a fuel pressure regulator that takes to long to build pressure, thats why there is a repair kit. The fuel pump assy has to be removed and taken apart to replace the parts that are part of the kit. It can be a little tricky, but cheaper than buying a new fuel pump assy. Gl..
