But what do you make of the "fluke?" I need a reliable car. I cant have a car that randomly wont start. And I've waited minutes, even hours and still no luck.casperfun wrote:This happen to me once, I don't know if it was a fluke but I was trying to start my Rogue for like 10-15 minutes. It just wouldn't turn over, I started to press the gas to the floor trying to give it some juice and nothing. Sat there for a few good seconds upset too because of it being a new car. After turning the key over 2 dozen times hoping not to ruin the ignition, it finally sputtered and eventually ran. I gave it another good final juice of gas and never had a problem since.
I've encountered the same issue in cool conditions. Also not allowing the engine to warm up a minute or so can cause it to stall when placed in Drive. The rich running conditions during a cold start may be part of the issue.In cold weather, keep the engine running for a minimum of 2 - 3 minutes before shutting it off. Starting and stopping the engine over a short period of time may make the vehicle more difficult to start.
If the engine is very hard to start in
extremely cold weather or when restarting,
depress the accelerator pedal a little
(approximately 1/3 to the floor) and hold
it and then crank the engine. Release the
accelerator pedal when the engine
starts.
. If the engine is very hard to start
because it is flooded, depress the
accelerator pedal all the way to the floor
and hold it. Crank the engine for 5 - 6
seconds. After cranking the engine,
release the accelerator pedal. Crank
the engine with your foot off the
accelerator pedal by turning the ignition
switch to START. Release the
ignition switch when the engine starts.
If the engine starts, but fails to run,
repeat the above procedure.
CAUTION
Do not operate the starter for more
than 15 seconds at a time. If the engine
does not start, turn the ignition switch
off and wait 10 seconds before cranking
again, otherwise the starter could be
damaged.

There is a proper procedure for a hard to start/flooded engine. Read the owners manual (Starting and Driving section). This will save your starter from overheating and damage.

It's either spark of Fuel
Does the fuel pump prime? When you turn the car on?

Last night, I quickly moved the rogue to a different part of the driveway, so I wouldn't be blocking another friend's car who had to leave. It was very quickly done, and I didn't let the engine idle for 30 seconds, as I should, before moving. It was probably 50-55˚ at the time I did this.
So, this morning, I went out to start the rogue to head home. As soon as I turned the key, there was a sound that I would describe as air being blown through a tube, or maybe a very light backfire. It startled me, so I immediately stopped turning the key. I turned the key again and it would just crank and not turn over. I didn't think to turn to the owner's manual, but lightly depressed the gas pedal a few times. After a few more cranks and a good ten minutes later, it finally (and seemingly reluctantly) started.
Also, I should mention there was about 1/8 tank of gas at the time. Put a fresh tank of gas in and drove home, making a few stops along the way, and everything seems normal. Definitely hope it's just a fluke, as I can relate to some of the factors mentioned above.
the only thing passing through the throttle body is air. filtered air and pcv air. fuel never goes through a throttle body. idk how premium fuel would help throttle body build up.rayjgold wrote:they said that it sounded like build up on the throttle body, stopping the flap from opening.
They looked at it and said they saw a little build up , but not a lot.
And they also recommended that I which to premium fuel to prevent future build ups!!!!!!!
