Possible bad cold start valve or the sensor that tells the valve to activate when cold. Start by replacing the cold start valve first.

Sounds like you may need to inspect and replace your fuel line from front to rear. no other reason for your problem.

SOURCE: 2005 dodge magnum 3.5 liter engine. 10 deg start engine noise

these have a problem with the overhead cams, one or more of the bolts break which restricts the oil flow to the lifters.

94 gmc sierra 4.3 v6 manual, won't turn over, can hear fuel pump start when accessories turned on..won't fire, girl who needs help

The first thing I would check is fuel pressure. This type of fuel injection requires a minimum fuel pressure in order to operate. If fuel pressure is as little as one psi below minimum the vehicle will not start. You can try squirting a couple of shots of carb spray into the air snorkel while somebody cranks the engine over. If the engine starts and then dies you now you fpdeffinetely have a fuel issue. If the engine still won't start check for spark. Let me know what you find. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

How to install a throttle position sensor NISSAN XTERRA

First off I wasn't sure as to which engine you had in your vehicle as there is a 2.4 or a 3.3 liter engine for your vehicle for that year. I gave you some details on the 3.3 liter. I don't want to sound negative but Nissan's are basically dependant on its sensors which in turn send signals to the ECM which makes all of the adjustments as to how everything runs. If you do not have the proper equipment for diagnostic procedures it is difficult to get it correct but can be done. Even after you set the throttle position sensor (TPS) you need to reset the TPS idle position memory and then check the timing/idle mixture ratio and make any adjustments there if needed. I can do my best to try and walk you through it with details directly from the factory service manual and even can make you up a PDF of it if you want with ways to go around not having the diagnostic equipment. Also write if you have the 2.4 because the little bit of information I gave you below is only for the 3.3 liter engine. Again I'm not trying to sound negative to you and I believe I can walk you through it but it's not like just pulling a part & replacing it when it comes to your vehicle in order to get it done correctly.

My BMW 520i starts up when cold but when it's warmed up and I turn engine off it won't start it's a 1997 straight six tiptronic whats causing this?

If the engine cranks but fails to fire, the car may be flooding due to a failed temperature sensor. There are several, but the most likely problem would be the water temperature sensor.
If the engine fails to crank when hot, the starter motor is failing and will need to be replaced.
