1995 Nissan Maxima starting problem

[theexplorer]

Hello,

I have a 1995 Nissan Maxima, around 140,000 miles.

A few months back, I was trying to start the car and it would not
start. I pushed a bit more and suddenly the Engine Check light came
on. The car started after some time. Talked to a mechanic and he
suggested to take it to some shop where they can check the engine
computer and tell me what the problem was. Took it to AutoZone, but
they unfortunately do not have the computer for 1995 cars... Bummer.
Worst part, my car wouldn't start then.

Towed the car to the nearest mechanic and he said the starter is burnt
and would need to replace it. He also checked the computer, but as per
him the computer would not show anything. It seems it showed NO
Problem, actually an "E" on the computer. So, he chagned the started
and the car started perfectly fine. Came home and parked the car and
after about 30 mins... tried the car and it won't start. Went back
home and came back to give a shot again and the car started. The car
started giving problems again, so took the car to mechanic once again.
now the mechanic said, need to change the fuel filter, changed it.
Also, he said I would add some fuel cleaner in the fuel tank. After
that the car was perfectly fine for a few days.

The car had started giving the starting problem again and now the car
won't start, at all. :-(

I'm lost, don't know what to do... Some one please helppppp.... !!!!!

Is your check engine light still on?

If it is you could check the error codes yourself to see if the mechanic was yankin you around.

also, did you take it to a dealership, or to a local mechanic.

That might be the problem.

Changed the mechanic. The mechanic got a Bad Cam Sensor signal from the computer. But did not change it, just started the car. Drove it for 3/4 miles... working fine. Parked outside in cold weather. The car won't start again

Would Cam sensor do this?
Would replacing them solve the problem?

Any help is much appreciated !

Yup, it would. Fixing it is the solution.
