2010 Rogue Won’t Start

[Motokawi10]

Hey everyone! Hopefully someone might be able to help me with this problem. I wasn’t able to find anyone with a similar problem when I used the search. My 2010 Rogue won’t start. I had put fuel in it (3/4 of a tank) then drove home. There were no problems and it ran fine. The next morning, it didn’t want to start. When it finally started, it shook a lot and ran horribly and acted like it was out of gas then died after about 30 seconds. It hasn’t started since. I thought it might be the fuel pump so I removed the seat, disconnected the fuel line, then turned the key on. The pump primed and was squirting fuel out. Somewhere along the line it is not allowing fuel into the engine. Any ideas what this could be and what I should test? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

First make certain it's a fuel issue and not a fuse or sensor that died unexpectedly. Have an assistant spray some Brakleen or anything else flammable down the intake while you crank. If the problem is fuel, the engine will start and run as long as the spray lasts, then die. If it doesn't start then your problem isn't fuel.

Okay I’m gonna do that now. It has been sitting for awhile and I just started working on it again to get it back on the road. If I recall correctly, we did spray starting fluid in and it did run. Another thing that leads me to believe it’s a fuel issue is that it did start up for a second so that shows that it is getting spark, right? I’m gonna check right now to see if it will start using spray and will post what happens. Thanks!

Sometimes it takes time for a code to show up. Ask me how I know.

Clean the mass air flow sensor.

Fuel injectors might need to be cleaned.

Had a similar situation a few years back.

Gasoline could be dirty, I wouldn't trust the old underground tanks these days, in addition to that corn $h#t the Gov't puts in our gasoline.

Even bought oxygen sensors that is gathering dust in the cabinet that thankfully I never needed.

In any case, my problem disappeared. So quite happy.

Good luck on finding a solution. At least it's not your transmission.

Thanks I’ll check out the mass air flow sensor. If the injectors are the problem, is it possible that they all would just clog and stop working all at once like that? The car was running fine before and all I did was shut it off, then in the morning it just did nothing. And when it started for the 30 seconds it ran, it ran horribly and felt like it was out of fuel, almost like it was using the last of the fuel that was in there then it just died.

Nissan injectors are die-hards, they rarely quit. Could be the injector fuse, though.
