Hello
I was wondering if anyone has experienced or knows a solution to the
following.
This problem ONLY happens in the Summer on HOT days.
I have a 94 4x4 Pathfinder / 5 speed standard shift.
When it is a hot - real hot day - it will not start -
I have changed the starter 3 times over the past few years and the starter
relay several times, put in a new battery 2 times and STILL ONLY when it is
a HOT DAY - it jsut CLICKS when I turn the KEY to start - sometimes after
turning the Key several times, it then starts, then sometimes I have to get
out and Push start it or wait to get someone to help me push start it.
Sometimes I have to "jump it" and it starts immediatley.
Has anyone ever come across this problem ?
Does anyone know a solution?
The dealer has been no help as of yet, once they told me it was the relay -
that didnt fix it - then they said it was the starter - that didnt fix it -
then they said it was the battery - that didnt fix it and now they want $80
and hr to try and determine the problem and they cant promise me a solution
or fix.
I had along time ago saw a posting that someone had the same problem and he
did every change i did plus he changed the Ignition switch and the
alternator - but none of that fixed the problem.
I'm LOST - and I live in TX and ITS REAL HOT this Summer and this problem is
getting really OLD .
HELP
PLEASE
I have a machinical background - but not much in the electrical field, I do
all my own repairs and use to build engines.
I need some electrical HELP.
Thanks anyone and all
