1997 maxima GLE hard starting

[luedemann]

I went out to start my 1997 Maxima GLE and it would turn over and over but will not go. Then, it eventually would start if I gave it gas and would keep running without gas. I let it run for a few minutes then turned it off and tried to start it again and same thing. It will start for maybe one second and then just die without gas. It was fine yesterday. Any ideas?

When was the last time you replaced the fuel filter? The fuel pump may be failing too. With ignition ON (engine OFF) can you hear it running>

I have never replaced it but I have only had it for a few months. I didn't notice if it was running or not but I took it for a drive to warm it up and it ran great. Took it home, parked it, started it up again and it fired right up.
