My car is barely starting (tuning over). each time I try it gets even worse. It feels like the battery is low but nothing was left on. 2006 Nissan Pathfinder - same problem, started like a champ 2 days ago.Yesterday, started no problem, then it was running for quite sometime. Shut it off for 5 minutes, then it would chug and chug and then finally turn over.

Check all your connections, make sure they are all clean & tight. Do you have a multimeter available for a voltage check at battery, before & after starting?

Mike Butler Jan 02, 2009

Lots of short trips with heater etc. all running this time of year, is hard on the battery, and if it's getting weak, well you know what I mean. That's why I was wondering about the possibility of testing voltage & charging circuits.

My truck is a 1994 v6 nissan vg30e series overhead cam if its a valve burnt wouldn't it get worse very quickly? Or can it be a injector problem

try posting the symptoms. hot and cold engine.
idleing, racing idle, driving, flat or hills.
misfiring, flooding, stalling,, bogging, low engine power all the time.
there are many symptoms not just those, even noise.

if compression is good, the valves are ok.
and if serviced right. ever do a 60,000 mile tune up>?

I have having trouble disconnecting the brake light switch from wire harness on my Nissan Pathfinder 2001

Does it say 'emergency brake' or just 'brake'? If it just says brake, you could be low on brake fluid on your 2001 Nissan Xterra.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
