Hey guys, I have a rather large rpblem with my 1994 Nissan 4x4 Hardbody Pikcup. Sometimes it decides that it doesnt want to turn over and start. The problem first started a few months back when I would turn the ignition to start the truck, it would hesitate then turn over. After awhile it got where I could trun the key and you would here all the clicks and everything would come on, but the starter wouldnt turn over. I thought the problem was in my ignition swtich ,so I replaced the elctrical portion of this, and everything worked for awhile.. Out of the blue the problem resurfaced worse than ever. Id have to sit for 15 minutes turn the swtich on, then off then on, slam down on the clutch, everything till it finally would crank. I finally decided to try and replace the starter. Took the Starte to Advance Auto PArts where they tested it and it showed that it was putting only half the power it should be.... PROBLEM SOLVED!!! Boughta new starter and everything was great. Well today, guess what? I was stuck for 45 minutes trying to get the damn truck started. The problem has gone from a normal truck problem I must fix to a dman nuisance. ANyone that has had similar problems please reply with what your solution was. I think the problem may lie in the swtich that is located on teh clutch pedal to tell the truak the clutch is in and it can start. Just a thought. ANy help is appreciate... Todd Sides
