The car will not start sometimes and after trying 5 or more times it will finally crank the motor turns over just fine. I was told by Nissan that it was the relay switch and I have had it replace twice already and it will work fine for a while then it will go back to the same problem.
A question, when it doesn't work, does anything happen - do you hear the motor running free - high pitched whizzing sound?
When it doesn't work, put a voltmeter on the output of the switch and see if you have any voltage. You can possibly do similar with a jumper cable by jumping between the switch input and output.
Be safe, and take sure car is in neutral and parking brakes on.
Have your temperature sending unit/sensor checked for proper operation, it may not be working and not placing the engine into cold start mode so it will start easily. This is like the old style automatic choke that's stuck open.

fuel problem then .either a plugged fuel filter or the fuel pump is not working .. if you were to shoot a little fuel into the throat of the throttle body or air cleaner area you say it will run .? if so you are not getting fuel up to there . sounds like maybe a possable pump . always replace cheapest thing first like filter .. thanks Jerry holler if you need more.

there is currently a recall being performed on altimas and there is also a updated crank position sensor check with your dealer for open recalls on your vehicle (its just a phone call away have your vin # ready (located on left bottom of windshield if your facing it from in front of vehicle it is on lower right side of windshield - also look on driver door jamb.

I just changed out a tailight on my 2000 Nissan Xterra, so I assume it may be similar. You have to pop the plastic strip which runs across the back. There are pop rivits in it.
SOURCE: I recently replace the crank shift sensor, but
switch on your car but don't start it, let it stay in that position for a few minutes. after start your car, if starts without problems then your problem is your fuel pump. but if problem is still there then it could be your fuel filter or timing of your car.
