MY 98 FRONTIER XE 4CY IS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING. I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. OVER THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS TWICE IN THE MORNING WHEN ITS A LITTLE COLD AND DAMP THE TRUCK DONT WANT TO START. IT TURNS OVER, BUT WONT START. I CANT FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS AND WHY IT ONLY DOES IT SOMETIMES. IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE LET ME KNOW....

First I would check to see if you are getting a good spark to the plugs. Have you done a tune up Cap/Rotor plugs? I would check these things first.

I wanted to let you know I fixed the problem. I had to replace the distributor. It worked out good. I decided to put some money back into my frontier instead of getting a new one. Im replacing all mechanical parts that need to be replaced. I have 125,000 miles on her. Im also adding a 3" supension lift with 31x10.5 tires. I got the headliner replaced cleaned the inside and replaced the cd player. The trucks starting to look good. I will post some pics when it's done. I appreciate the feed back.
