2008 S/L 2400 Miles:

Recently, have been having startup problems where engine has to turn over several times before it kicks in. This occurs after short drives in warm weather.

After sitting overnight it starts up o.k. the next morning, bur comes back after running on short trips...

Any suggestions appreciated......

Most likely its the fuel pump issue that the dealer knows about, mention it to them. Usually the fuel pump is replaced.

From the Nissanhelp website:" NTB07-094 2007-2008 NISSAN VERSA; LONG CRANK TIMEBEFORE ENGINE START

The engine needs to be cranked for a long time (4-10 seconds) before the engine starts.AndFuel system pressure after engine shutoff drops lower than 200 kPa (29 psi) after 30 minutes time. "-----srellim's note:The TSB calls for replacement of the fuel pressure regulator , not the fuel pump. Tell the dealer to look up the above NTB number and that should be all they need to be able to fix the problem under warranty.

My car had been doing this starting around the 1000 mile mark.I took it in today for its 3000 mile oil change and printed off thatcode and they replaced the fuel regulator.Feels brand new again.

Thank you for posting that service number.
