Constant failing Strarter

Is it a *new* Nissan alt, or is it an aftermarket rebuilt part? Most people have had good experience with Nissan rebuilts and bad experience with cheap (Autozone type) parts. They often fail shortly after installation.

Its the starter and twice it was changed 1st was a rebuilt one then I decided to go to AutoZone then this happened so my question is what may be causing my starter to die that often???

This car is shap>

I still don't follow this. The first was a rebuilt and you went to Autozone and got what? Another rebuild? I would guess you are still in need of a GOOD starter. What's likely causing them to fail is poor quality of the replacement parts.

The answer is: you are using cheap parts. Either get used to swapping out these "lifetime warranty" parts or go get one from nissan.

The problem might not be the starter, especially if replaced twice. My 95 sometimes fails to crank (repeatedly) when I turn the key. It fires right up when it does crank. But I have not tracked whether it is a problem with the ignition switch or a relay (others have posted about the same problem).

When its starter was going bad some time ago, it had been cranking roughly for quite some time. I replaced it when it finally stopped on its dead spot.

MOST definitely get a Nissan starter, this is a must for this part in particular, yes they are expensive but aftermarket ones are a constant problem. Sometimes you can use "Autozone" type parts but the alternator, starter and a few others are not some of them. About Lifetime replacements from car parts stores, I went through 4 count 'em 4 alternators for a 350 CHEVY engine before I found a good one from Autozone......they can't even get a flippin GM part right, much less an import!
