07 Maxima, 127k. Bought this car not long ago (yes it belongs on the "crappy car that I'm proud of buying" thread but I like it)...
Anyway, it was hard to start 1st thing in the morning, would crank for a full 6-8 secs before turning over. But the starter seemed strong, battery is new. So I began to turn the key halfway for a few secs, let the fuel gauge set in place, then start it.... Turns right over.
Could be fuel pump not maintaining pressure when car is off?
Also, another weird thing was that when fueling up the car, the gas pump would constantly cut out every couple of gallons. Frustrating. But that problem seems to have subsided now. Could it be related?
I'm pretty ignorant about how pressurized systems work in cars. Second only to my ignorance about electrical systems.
