97 Maxima hard start!

My 95 maxima was hard starting if the engine was cold. Would always start easily if the engine was warm. Too make a long story short it turned out to be the ignition switch wiring harness. There is (for my car) an extra contact between run & 'starter engagement' that sends an 'early start' signal to the computer.
Guess the signal is used to adjust amount of fuel during cold start situations. Part was ordered from autozone & the new part arrived in a Nissan box. Took about one hour to install. Cost was around $30.
