Post by Jacks0330 »

We've got a nissan qashqai 2014 petrol, we have trouble starting it most morning, the dash reads sometimes no key detected (as its keyless entry) we have replaced the key with no joy, other times it will say nothing but just not start as if the battery is low (ive had this checked and its fine) when it does start it really struggles to fire in, some mornings it will start with no issues at all which suggests to me its not mechanical more electrical???

Has anybody got any ideas what this could be or come across it before?

The prime suspects are key and car 12v battery. If they are ok you'll need to get a reliable garage/someone to download the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) from the car.

It could be anything from engine fuel delivery to the exhaust...sensors and controllers all along that line. The DTCs will pinpoint it in minutes.

Mechanical is related of course...let us know what happens please.
