Brotha, you're fortunate to have a woman by your side, learning, recording and supporting you 100%! Love the vids too! I'm just confused as to how the car goes from driving one day to no compression the next. Haven’t seen that one yet.
It’s not that it did it in one day it’s been losing compression bro and every tim you tried to start it it took so long to start because it took that long to build up compression watch the video
There is no good reason that I was able to detect you were humming the "green acres" theme so instantly :D Sounds like you have a lot of fun doing what you do, love it :)
as you mentioned here after 12 min into the video, Got the code p0180 of coolant temperature on my 2001infiniti QX4, got your explanation about Injector pulse but how can we correct it was not explain. would you explain the corrections please. thank you in advance
Gotta love this channel this guy is so genuine and authentic. I just enjoy watching his videos in my free time even if I don’t have the car he’s working on. Great videos, great content and very knowledgeable! Thank you Astral Auto!
29:23 you can see that there was compression in all cilynders by looking at the air blowing out of the spark plug tunes when he cranked it. Your compression gauge is bad.
Even with a bent valve, with that much of an opening, you would still get fuel or whatever coming out of the cylinder. By the way, we did do this job, and it did jump.

Hello good day I am getting that same problem with my Nissan Sentra b13 car engine was down for over 3 years ago what is the problem and what can I do to get it started
68 Nissan repair videos! I can dig it! I learned that coolant answer from Diagnose Dan! He had one that the sensor said engine was hot when actually it had not run that day. So computer was not sending enough fuel for it to start cold. As for the no compression, i go with Sylvia's guess. Chain tensioner failure. So Sylvia has to call & break the news to the customer? As long as valves didn't hit pistons, it won't be too expensive. Timing chain set and install. Can't wait and see!
Hey man I was wondering my car had a crank no start so I watched this video an decided to look at the coil packs an spark plugs the one closest the the driver side had oil in the spark plug well so my question is how would I fix that? New cover an gasket?
Any idea 2003 nissan factory remote start acting up starts and dies right away. When I use key no issue starts and runs. I cleaned terminals and alil corrosion positive side but still same starts and dies. Any help
Just had this failure on a 2002 Altima... Last Spring, hard starts every morning and anytime the car rested for more than 4 hours, The problem went away on it's own, so owner assumed bad gas (filled up w/ tanker on the lot). Fast forward to this spring, Valve Cover replacement (leaking Tube Rings flooding the SP Tubes). Ran good for about a month, and then the Rando/Multi-Misfire code started hitting. hard starts returned, but the oner said it started if he pressed the gas, and it would only happen every few days. Then the next morning, No Start, Cranks and Cranks, tries to catch, the RPM needle would wiggle to 150-200 RPM but never actually fully turn over. Thought it was the Fuel Pump / Pressure, But Remembered the last time I was there, we heard the rapid click click click last spring of the timing chain tensioner. The Clicking supposed stopped a month or so ago, right around before the hard starts returned. Eventually because there was no tension, the chain started skipping and shifting the timing off slowly, and now it's likely far enough off, that it's not going to engage and running engine, and likely damaged valves with the timing being off. It wasnt compression more than the timing. Also, the Headgasket shows signs of a leak.
So I have a Nissan Altima 2005 ,2.5 4 cylinder. It will crank but no start , I’ve changed sparks coils , fuel pump , and my neighbor checked all fuses but no start. When we lifted up the seat to get to the fuel pump to check the wire going to fuel pump , when you turn the key to on his test light it would flash on then off immediately when they key turned to on . Please help
2011 Nissan Maxima: Over the course of years before I bought the car from my sister the battery would randomly leave her stranded (or so she thought) but it's odd that the car would start just fine and after a short drive of perhaps three minutes and about fifteen minutes of her shopping the battery suddenly dies when she gets back in (her job and the store were very close so it was odd that it would crank once but fail less than 30 minutes later). I buy the car and change the alternator and the electrical connector for the alternator cause the plastic was brittle and broken, I did this cause the battery would randomly be drained after the car sat for weeks or sometimes only days. Car works fine for a few weeks (not driven regularly though) and I find the battery is still draining cause it's dead one day, but I charge it up . A couple of weeks later I got in the car and it cranked just fine but then after I put it in reverse all the warning lights come on and the engine wouldn't rev up in reverse. I put it in drive and the motor will rev up and move the car, put it back in reverse and get nothing. I buy a new battery and the car is cranking and working correctly, after a trip the battery and brake light start to flutter on and off but I make it home with no issues. Now the battery and brake light keep coming on but the car is working fine, though I note that if I rev the motor up I can make the light go out after a few times reving the engine. Opinion?
Check the signal going to the coils to see if they are getting it. If they are, then the coils are no good, but if they are not, check your wiring and your computer.
Just came across your page. My stepson bought 2002 Nissan Sentra gxe. Been running fine. Anyway he stops at store then wont start/crank. When i hooked my scanner up got codes etc. But it wont stay running unless OBDII is plugged in. I can use any OBDII dongle even if it's a blue toothunit not connected to reader. Any ideas??
i was driving and i didnt have coolant in my radiator so i stopped and put coolant then i went to check my oil and i didnt have any so i went to the store and bought some and when i went to start it it did the exact same thing as this one there was oil in my first and fourth spark plugs what did you do to fix it?
@@keokicjadolpho2145 The first thing you have to do is replace your valve cover gasket, along with the spark plug tube seals, clean the plugs, put everything back together, and then try to start the car. Let us know what happens.
No, when you start it up it will burn it off, it might smoke for a few minutes. Or you can remove the spark plugs, hold some rags over the spark plug holes, have someone crank the engine over to push the oil out of there.
So i got my valve cover repaired about two weeks ago and my spark plugs and ignition coils repaired as well all new. It started perfectly fine then about 10 mins later i came home and went to leave again and it’s cranking but won’t start. Could that mean i have a bad ignition coil or spark plug? Would that cause it to lot start? What are some reasons that could be wrong since i have all new spark plugs ignition coils and a new valve cover?
There are a lot of reasons why a car doesn't start, but if you are mechanically inclined, follow this video of ours, and then let us know what you DON'T have: ruclips.net/video/P07Gi-c9twk/видео.html
Prop open your throttle body plate TWO (throttle wide open) for the best possible reading when running compression tests Disable fuel injectors and ignition coils.
Wouldn't really matter if it was loose, stretched, gears worn, or the tensioner. Either way, we have to take it all down and get a complete timing chain kit.
Astral, obviously the problem's been fixed by now, but when I see that the compression gauge doesn't even quivering at all on any cylinder I would sure want to test the gauge on a known working cylinder on another car, or try another gauge before spending a lot more time/money looking looking into causes of absolutely NO compression on this puppy. You said customer reported this problem happened suddenly one morning after running the previous day. That doesn't sound like a compression problem. Please let me know what you found, if you don't mind. The suspense is killing me. Thanks, Ron
@@ThePonyboy50 It takes 3 things for an engine to run. Fuel, spark, and compression. Normally, when an engine will not start, you've lost one of the three. Listening to the engine crank and sounding like no compression, investigate this first. One could check fuel pressure, but with a compression issue, you're wasting your time.

Hi I'm having trouble out of my car...my battery and brake light comes on at the same time and the car cut off on me 3 times in the last couple of months now so it's been setting and now my ICV light on now...what's wrong with my car
That's cool, Wake Forest is not that far away. According to the manual, it is an interference engine, but the chain did not break, so I believe the valves are still good. We will be sure to update this if anything changes.
What would cause a car to start after the 3rd or 4th time trying to turn it over and start and then sometimes it starts right up and then sometimes it takes 20 times is turning the key to start it but it runs perfect I could drive it 500 miles usually drive at least a couple hundred miles a day it has $136,000 on it so 2006 Nissan Altima 2.5 minutes
Great Video. Did you end up replacing the head gasket? My car wont start and I know I have a blown head gasket but I wasn't haven't issues starting it til recently. I previously replaced pretty much all my sensors and spark plugs and a faulty coil pack. I was thinking my fuel injectors might be clogged so I got some cleaner in the fuel but since it won't start properly it wont flow through it. Can a blown head cause the no start?

Check the cat converter they are known to cause the issue. If the platinum is gone it's in the engine oil and Fry's the rings. But because its a Altima it has a recall on the 2.5 engines

I got a customer 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5 liter I change the timing chain set new gears and oil pump chain the whole nine yards and I’m getting fire and fuel cranks but no start
Had this happen to me and you'll know when it's going bad because when you start the engine you'll hear a plastic rattle which will go away once the car starts. You'll hear this rattle months before it actually goes but make no mistake these cars are known for weak chain tensioner and chains. shop wants $1400. plus if any valves are messed up etc on an already 16 year old car = not happening. Car only has 68,000 original miles.
⭐ Astral Auto Repairs awesome thank you for the fast response. The only thing different thing is that mine didn’t have oil. It was basically dry. I’m hoping if I put oil in the cylinders it will get it started again as you mentioned
I have 2 of these altima in my driveway, one has been dead 2 years (after I rebuilt the engine and suspension myself) the other is slowly dying, I'm expecting it do die any day now. Everybody on the internet is scream "crank sensors". I have a small bin full of these sensors, at least 8 of them including at least 2 genuine ones. At least for the 1st one, it's not that.
Yeah the jerseys just turn over then start sometimes and then to it takes five six times of trying to start it then it was start and then they would finally just died on you then you replace the crank sensor that's what mine is doing mine hasn't died yet mine turns over sometimes it starts on the second try first try sometimes it starts on the 20th it don't make sense neutral safety switch switch be changed I changed a lot of things I didn't know she had me inside out on these Nissan cuz it's 2006 Nissan Altima 2.5 S thanks man

your right in a way but the Platinum would not be in the oil your exhaust does not suck it blows witch could cause it to clog the exhaust but i doubt that's the issue with this one
That was a great video! Salutations from Fort Worth, TX
THANKS!
@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos so can condensation cause a rough start. Just rained like heck over here the past few days. Been having trouble starting the car since. 2003 nissan altima 2.5 l
I came across your channel and to be honest I am learning a lot and I like family working together on the same field. Keep it up with the videos. Greetings from Finland !!!!!
Thanks Armando, really appreciate that!
I have a 2002 Nissan Altima. It has been leaking oil so I took it to my boyfriends dad and he found out that my screw was loose, we got that fixed. Then, he put three bottles of oil in. Next day, my car cranks but won’t start. Can someone help?
After he fixed it did you notice anything on the way it drives, or did you see any lights on the dash come on.
Astral Auto Repairs none of my dash lights came on. But the weird thing is, it was cranking the day before he fixed it as well.
Astral Auto Repairs and it drove smoother because I was dry on oil
The first thing you have to figure out is if it doesn't have spark, fuel, or both.
Astral Auto Repairs my uncle said it’s the fuel pump
will no oil cause it to not start?
If the oil pressure switch controls fuel, then yes, but it doesn't on this vehicle.
You are smart bro. Thanx for the info. But the leaf technique 😂😂😂 then back in the engine
Thanks Gee!
LoL, I passed out there!
Forgive me, team Astral !
My car is doing the same thing changed the spark plugs and coils also changed the position sensor car still wont start...help!!!
Watch this video and let us know what you don't have. ruclips.net/video/P07Gi-c9twk/видео.html
ECM GONE BAD ?
My wife's is a 2012 Altima, it's the touch switch kind... It wants to start but doesn't..any advice????ty
Does the engine turn over?
@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos no
@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos I jump it, it starts right up...
Okay, check your battery, terminals, battery cables, and alternator for charging.
I got a customer 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5 liter I change the timing chain set new gears and oil pump chain the whole nine yards and I’m getting fire and fuel cranks but no start
Check compression.
Had this happen to me and you'll know when it's going bad because when you start the engine you'll hear a plastic rattle which will go away once the car starts. You'll hear this rattle months before it actually goes but make no mistake these cars are known for weak chain tensioner and chains. shop wants $1400. plus if any valves are messed up etc on an already 16 year old car = not happening. Car only has 68,000 original miles.
You're right, and that sound goes for ANY vehicle with a tensioner that works off oil pressure.
Thank You for that information
No problem!
Silvia you asked the right questions. Thank you
Don't encourage her, then she's going to keep asking....lol
@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos but that's what we need !
@@africa.fs.0719 I hear that loud and clear!!
You can a rag to soak up some of that oil but I ain’t got time for that ...splash...eeewww.ahh I’m gonna go get a rag....lol!!!!
i use shopvac oil is from valve cover gasket leak
What was the wrong with it in the end? Great video by the way. Mine is basically doing the same thing
Timing chain, but you might want to add oil to the cylinders first, to see if the compression comes back. If it does, let us know.
⭐ Astral Auto Repairs awesome thank you for the fast response. The only thing different thing is that mine didn’t have oil. It was basically dry. I’m hoping if I put oil in the cylinders it will get it started again as you mentioned
That's great, so at least you don't have to do the valve cover.
Did the chain tensioner go like Silvia said, or did the chain just break?
I'm trying to locate the fuel pump relay on an 2004 Altima but can't find any diagram that shows it. I'll really appreciate if someone can help?
You’re videos are good and easy to follow. Will use ya more in the future. Way COOL Thanks again. Jack
good one, she just dose not give you a break LOL, cannot wait for part two.
LOL, she's a bully.
I have the same viechle. My car wont start at all.
Good job
Thanks buddy!!
Garments. It's more if you ask ?s While I work!
i dig it.. keep making vids
Not a problem!
I have 2 of these altima in my driveway, one has been dead 2 years (after I rebuilt the engine and suspension myself) the other is slowly dying, I'm expecting it do die any day now. Everybody on the internet is scream "crank sensors". I have a small bin full of these sensors, at least 8 of them including at least 2 genuine ones. At least for the 1st one, it's not that.
Yeah the jerseys just turn over then start sometimes and then to it takes five six times of trying to start it then it was start and then they would finally just died on you then you replace the crank sensor that's what mine is doing mine hasn't died yet mine turns over sometimes it starts on the second try first try sometimes it starts on the 20th it don't make sense neutral safety switch switch be changed I changed a lot of things I didn't know she had me inside out on these Nissan cuz it's 2006 Nissan Altima 2.5 S thanks man
Shodanxx

Anyone ever tell you sound and act like Kevin Hart?
YES, I should make a video with all the comments that we get saying that same thing, LOL!
@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos He's like Kevin all grown up. Heck he's even got taller too 😂
Omg!!! We just bought a 2003 Nissan Altima & it starts but shuts right off ! My husband was on YT all night trying to find videos to help him diagnose it. He found you and was like "babe! He reminds me of Kevin Hart! Hes awesome!" These comments made us so happy! On a real note though, can you help us?? Lol
@@alexandrahall7998 LOL, that is funny!!! Okay, here is what we need the two of you to do...
Watch this 5 minute video of ours, and then come back and let us know what you DON'T have (you'll know what we mean by that once you watch the video): ruclips.net/video/P07Gi-c9twk/видео.html
If you can't do all the tests, that is fine, we just need an idea of where your problem lies.
🤔
As soon as that engine cranked, you knew it was a loss of compression. Too bad, because the car looks pretty good.
Especially for a 2003...
Love yoir attitude man. Also i HATE hearing lip smacking on the mic but you pull it off with ease lol
LOL!
Jumped TIME
Potato Potatoe French Fries..lol
The engine is fry dude it may be overheating
@17:18 "Oh" LOL
LOL, this must be a common issue because the parts store actually has these valve covers in stock!
Thanks for the helpful video! It really helped us out :)
Glad it helped, and THANKS!
Nice team!
Thanks
set car on fire n claim insurance...sorted
For a good compression ..place car in the crusher...
LOL
No
That many Nissan repair videos!! That means I would never buy a Nissan..
I always thought that nissan was very dependable, but this is not looking good for them.
I reckon as long as it ain't a repetitive issue on the model Datsun you're working on. Hey, everything man-made is gonna wear out or break down. It's called "job security".
Come on
👏👏👏
Nissan is junk. Honda or Toyota for the win
Well said!
honda civic type r or nissan gtr i would go for gtr
hehe
