2002 Nissan Altima 2.5S starting problem

My 2002 nissan altima 2.5S has some starting problem. Earler I got check engine light on. Error code said that Cylinder1 is misfired. So I have tune up the Engine. Replaced all the sparkplugs. After some days I got starting problem. If vehicle is in idle more time, when I start the car it will not start. I need to Accelerate the car to start it. Once it starts, it will start immediatly for the next times. Only when the car is idle for more time, I am getting the starting problem. I went to the mechanic and he checked the car and told that no problem exists in the car. Please help me whether any thing wrong in my car.

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.


To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

There is a recall about fuel line screen (no start problem)if you live in cold area. Check the head gasket with pressure test on cylinder 1 that misfire. If you cannot rev >3000 rpm, your MAF is bad.

2002 nissan altima started shaking and check engine light came on

Blinking means that the problem is so bad that it can damage the engine if you drive it. You need to get a code reader from an autoparts store and read the codes to see what the issue is.

That code is not in my book, it is a dealer specific code. Go to Auto Zone or Advanced Auto, and they will have a book that has "dealer" codes in it.
