2006 Maxima not starting

Asked by ashley Jul 06, 2020 at 12:33 PM about the 2006 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SL

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Amy idea why my 06 maxima wont start? IT will crank over but not start. Ive
had the alternator, fuel pump and battery replaced in the last 30 days. Some
say timing chain, others say ECM. I have spent $400 in diagnostic test to hear
2 different things? Help anyone>? I really can not afford a new car right now.
It only has 120k on it

To check for a bad timing chain do a compression test. If all cylinders test very low or zero it's jumped timing. Hope that helps! Jim

Most mechanics will run you over like they just did, honestly first bet is the battery, thise get checked for free at autozone etc, battery runs good it’s usually going to be the starter especially if it is just cranking , you always know it’s the alternator if you’re dirvong and you’re car dies with low battery sign and will not clock or make any noise
