nissan workshop usually jz tested your vehicle using those specialised tester that look like multimeter..
if the tester dont show any problem, they will jz treat it as no prob.
my bf was having serious problem with his new car when he jz bought it within 7 days. there was a few times within a mth or so, when he start the car, the warning light will on. so he called them, bring the car down to check for a few times. they checked and say no prob. till once, the car cant start at all. then they check in details and find out that the cable has prob and the one of the part need to be change totally.
try and complain & ask them to check carefully. tell them that this isnt the 1st time that the problem occured. unless the car is so unreliable that the problem is so normal. -
Batt, Alternator,Spark Plug, immobilizer.
I may be wrong.
-
your only bet is to visit a workshop get an experienced mechanic to diagnose it. i doubt any of us here are experts.

I'm guessing spark plug too.Originally posted by bo liao:Batt, Alternator,Spark Plug, immobilizer.

+ ingnition coil, power distributor,Plug cable or u better pray not ur ECU.Originally posted by bo liao:Batt, Alternator,Spark Plug, immobilizer.

Should be your spark plugs, i think
-
maybe check ur engine idling speed...if below 800rpm, the engine idling is too low..just adjust to below 1000rpm will be fine if thats the problem..

Ok question when was the last time you change your battery ? usually if 2 yrs already time to look out for it.Originally posted by RagingWhirlWind:Hi! anyone know can help me ? sometime when i start engine it get stalled. what is the problem that causes it? it happen every now and then like 1 day 1 time, or a few day one time..
Your does sound like battery problem .... maybe if your battery life is about 2 yrs already or close to it already, just change it. After if problem solve you know it is the battery, if not at least you know it is something else !!! -
I thought most cars nowadays with ECU so won't have this problem? Of course unless there's a problem with the ECU in the first placeOriginally posted by bmx_rider:maybe check ur engine idling speed...if below 800rpm, the engine idling is too low..just adjust to below 1000rpm will be fine if thats the problem..

my father's lorry had the same problem during cny.
he told me he went to change the cable? i not sure wat isit. after that ok liao.
btw is ur car manual or auto?
if is manual maybe u can try jump start? if it can start the engine then i guess maybe is spark plug problem. -
Enlighten me, how can an ECU develop a problem? Electronic failure? I've never known or heard of an ECU dying before. Thanks.Originally posted by TheDream:I thought most cars nowadays with ECU so won't have this problem? Of course unless there's a problem with the ECU in the first place -
ai ya check ur engine gearbox lah

enlighten me, how can a faulty gearbox lead to a hard startup?Originally posted by dustychelsea:ai ya check ur engine gearbox lah -
might be your spark plugs or relay starter

im driving manual. this car is actually near to 2 year. i just bought it second hand. initially it wasnt that bad... once in a very long while this problem then occur.. but after i do my major servcing this problem become frequent! anyway i think might nt be the spark plug problem.. coz i just do major servcing changed the spark plug also..
any good workshop to recommend in the west??
