My 87 Nissan Van Wont Start

My 87 Nissan Van Wont Start

Problems with a Nissan van starting can occur for a variety of reasons but the battery and the fuel levels are the primary reasons it will not start. Many people consult a mechanic when their cars will not start, but you can troubleshoot the issues yourself. Corrosion on the battery terminals, a dead battery, or no gas in the van will probably be the reason your Nissan van will not start.

Instructions

    1

    Pop the hood to the Nissan van and locate the battery next to the engine.

    2

    Look the battery connections over for any corrosion. Use a socket wrench to loosen the terminal connections.

    3

    Clean the terminals with soda and a wire brush and then connect the terminals back onto the battery.

    4

    Try to restart the car. If the car does not start, jump-start the van with jumper cables and another car.

    5

    Leave the van running for at least five minutes and then turn the car off. Try to restart the van. If the van does not restart, replace the battery.

    6

    Add 1 gallon of gas to the van and then try to restart the van. If the van restarts, get a mechanic to repair your fuel gauge.
