#1 of 10 Need Help by jmtazmatic36 Dec 07, 2007 (6:15 am)
My 2000 Xterra started hesitating and acted like it was starving for fuel. I let it sit for 2-3 hours and it would run. Ran about 15 miles did the same thing. Looked underneith and the exhaust pipe, after the converter, was glowing red. Figured the catalytic converter was clogged. Had to get it home, after several stalls. Now the vehicle will not crank at. It will turn over, but not crank. Could it be the ECM?

Replying to: jmtazmatic36 (Dec 07, 2007 6:15 am) May I suggest taking it in to the dealer, I seriously doubt you want to get your answers from a discussion site when it's this serious. Replies to this message: jmtazmatic36 (Dec 07, 2007 8:02 am) steve_ (Dec 08, 2007 9:31 pm)

Replying to: tinycadon (Dec 07, 2007 7:41 am) Don't you think that if I could afford the dealer to work on my vehicle I would have already taken it there. I thought you guys were supposed to have answers! Replies to this message: steve_ (Dec 08, 2007 9:31 pm)

That may help rule out a bad crank sensor or bad O2 sensor.

Replying to: jmtazmatic36 (Dec 07, 2007 6:15 am) hey I just read about your problem...did you ever figure out what it was? I have a 2007 xterra and mine will act hesitant but eventually cranks. But one day, it didn't crank and the dealer put a computer in it. Well that was 2 weeks ago and now it's done it again! So I was wondering if you figured your problem out bc it sounds alot like mine?? Replies to this message: g8trtaz (Jan 21, 2008 7:15 am)

Replying to: heather2924 (Jan 20, 2008 5:58 pm) The problem ended up being my distributor. It was actually the module in the distributor and since you can not buy just the module I had to spend $300 to buy the distributor. Good Luck. Your best bet would be to have someone do a complete computer diagnostic of the vehicle to pin point the problem. It cost me $80 for that.
#9 of 10 not starting by truck36 Jul 27, 2009 (6:24 pm)
I have a 2005 Nissan Xterra. I recently have been noticing a problem. I go to start my car and when I turn the key, it turns but nothing happens. The few times it's happened the car was fine all day then out of nowhere I go to start it and nothing. I wait a while then it starts. I thought it was the chip in the key but when it happened again I tried a new key and nothing. I'm thinking now maybe a sensor that is bad and won't let it start but my check engine light is not on. Help please. Eddie
