I have a 1996 maxima the will not start. Have had cam sensor and anothersensor under front end replaced. Even put a ecu on it and it still will not fire. It Seems to turn over slower than normal. Have put new battery on it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

two things come to mind. one is grounding. there was a bulletin that i remember seeing about removing transmission and cleaning the bellhousing and engine side to get better contact between the two. this would cause it to turn over slower.

the other is the wiring harness. common failure for early a32 maximas. they like to break right around the power steering pump. it may be too late for you. pain in the but to fix too. best thing to do in that case is remove whole harness and test it on the floor with a multimter.

Thanks for the info. I have been reading on the transmission and engine seperation and don't know if I can tackle that on not. I will try to get the harness tested though.

Selling the darn thing comes to mind!
