tex i believe u are right there is some kind of problem in extreme cold mine seems to happen around -30 degrees celcius.    i have tried many new large cold cranking amp batteries no difference   but i didnt have the problem all summer.   am not looking forward to dealing with this joke of a truck again this winter.

nissan dealerships tell me i need to bring the truck in while it will not start for them to fix the problem!   hello the truck will not start how am i supposed to do that. i sure as hell am not taking a bunch of days of work paying a tow truck who knows how much to tow my car 900 kms to the nearest stealership and waiting around for the problem to happen to them !!!    ud think with all the problems people are having with the ipdm or relays or whatever they would get their stuff straightend out!@

i dunno if this information helps u at all tex or perhaps now frontier guy has heard of this problem since the last time i asked him for help.

last winter when the truck would not start after sitting in cold for a while.  most of the times if i got someone to give me a boost my truck would start( which would agree with your theory) however once in a while a boost wouldnt even work!   in those cases i left the truck sit there and tried again the next day after paying 100 dollars in cab rides to get home from work and back to work in the morning where my truck was sitting all night.   i dunno if it just needed to sit there or if the temperatures were just warm enough to not have the problem happen!

it really is a losy feeling not knowing if your truck will start in the morning to get to work or to have to stay at a friends place overnight if i cqannot afford the cab rides home and back!!   we have extremely long and cold winters here we got snow already and basically from end of sept till mid may there is a chance everyday that the problem will happen again

kinda the reason i bought the truck in the first place was to get a newer more reliable vehicle than my last   and it is far from that right now!   i just really cant believe that any nissan experts have not heard of the problem or know how to fix it!

NorthrnManitoba:

I don't know a fix... but in Amarillo Tx in the winter there was only a barbed wire fence between it and Canada. The lowest  was -13f. I installed a 110 ac heater element in the the heater hose that had a little propeller. The bad starting problem was solved plus I had warm air instantly. This was a long time ago and it was a chevy... For other cars and trucks I put a 100 watt light bulb under the hood on cold nights. Magnetic heater eleiments were avaible you can stick under the pan.

Good Luck.. Don S..

i will check those grounds that you noted frontierguy!  can say corrosion or a bad connection only act up on really cold days and act normal 99.9% of the time.

can you please send me the rest of the info, like if the battery service doesn not fix the no start condition! i believe i did get a NATS code once, and thats when nissan dealership got me a new battery and cleared codes and sent me home. then the problem happened again. i dont believe i got more than one NATS code. and i dont believe i am getting any codes anymore!
