I just replaced crank position sensor about a month ago with aftermarket one. I have since bought a genuine Nissan one to replace it (because it's a once a year thing). I haven't installed the Nissan one yet. I always thought that was basically a start/no-start thing.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 10:59 amThe fuel pump won't cause a slow crank, so I doubt that. Crank or cam sensors are among the "usual suspects" for a problem like that, as is the MAF. Any of those can cause crappy starting behavior without throwing codes.

I.e., is the starter spinning audibly slower than normal, or does the starter spin at normal speed but it spins-and-spins without starting? If it's the latter, the usual suspect on R50's is the Fuel Pressure Regulator. They leak internally and flood the engine after a brief hot-soak. It's a very common issue. However, with that being changed and a scan tool not connecting, do some voltage drop testing on your main grounds and power and ground to the ECM. That's especially true if it's a "slow" crank.
Sorry I didn't answer your question. It sounds the same to me just takes a long time before it starts. If tried right away a second or third time then it takes even longer to start.VStar650CL wrote: ↑Mon Apr 18, 2022 4:27 pmIs this a "slow" crank or a "long" crank?

Isn't one easy to get to, and one pretty difficult to get to?VStar650CL wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 9:35 amThe late R50's with the VQ35 are a completely different animal from @we3tjs's VG33. Almost nothing in this thread applies to your engine. Try cam sensors, those would be the next most likely culprits on a VQ.
