My car will crank fine in the mornings. But if it is parked in the sun on a warm day, it will not crank. Go back late in the evening or at night, it will crank. A salesperson at Advance Auto contacted a mechanic who told him that he has seen several Nissans with this problem. Possibly the computer, wiring harness, or distributor. Any advice?
