Won't start

Nissan X-Trail 2002 Manual  320500 miles
It was used to jup start another vehicle and now it won't start. I can turn the ignition on everything inside has power and works but it won't start. You can turn the key to start but the car won't start, while turning the key you can smell fuel, I'm just wondering does the computer need to be rebooted & if so can I do that myself?

Jump starting from your car can fry your computer. If you must do this then earth to the engine not to the battery.

Does not start

Nissan X-Trail 2005  80300 miles
When driving, the vehicle suddenly stalled and I have not been able to start the engine since then. The computer, camshaft and 2 other more sensors have been checked and they are all working properly. There is no spark.

You need to check both the camshaft and crankshaft sensors. In my case, they were replaced and now it is working perfectly.

Stalling engine

Nissan X-Trail 2005 4x4 125000 miles
After starting sometimes stalls and is difficult to start again. Once running is ok but on occasion will just stop whilst driving. The diesel plug light comes on and sometimes won't go off or start. Then the warm up plug goes off and it will start again. Also the icon with the skidding car comes on when shuts down. Any ideas?

Hey there, I have a similar problem with my Xtrail, It stalls when in motion and you literally have to stop, park and start all over. What could be the cause of this and how do I solve it?

Bad camshaft sensors

Nissan X-Trail 2006 2.5 L gasoline engine, automatic transmission. 102000 miles
Engine would not start last week. Towed to Nissan dealer. They replaced the camshaft sensor. I had already replaced it myself twice during the last week. C$360. That’s a lot to me. Now the check engine light has come on again. Sure enough, bad camshaft sensor code, P0340. Hat to take it to the dealers again, but it is on warranty.
