I have a 2004 Altima. After turning the engine off for 15-20 minutes the car is hard to re-start. It will take about 10-15 seconds of cranking the starter for it to fire up. I know it doesn't sound like a long time, but when you're on the other end of the key you start to worry. It never took that long to start when it was brand new. All the dealer will do is show me a list of tips for cold starting. I live in a warm area, and when this happens, the engine is still fairly warm. The Nissan dealer just wants me off thier back. If anyone has any tips or has experienced the same thing, please let me know
