Hey guys i'm asking this ? for a friend ..

She has a 98 Pathfinder and the problem she's been having is that when its hot out the truck wont start or takes like 2-3 attemps .She has taken it to the dealer as well as privite shops and they cant find anything wrong with it besides a code for a bad O2 senser .Any help would be great.....

Dead spots in the starter? Bad wiring? Trace the big positive cable from the battery to the starter and see if anything stands out.

If you're technically inclined, look in the "Starting System" section of this service manual chapter: http://www.gwcustom.com/mirror/sc.pdf
