How can I make Nissan Primera start which is just cranking?

Hi,
I am trying to start my nissan primera automatical R reg. but it just cranking and not starting up all the lights are up so I think its not a battery problem.

Any advice?

As steray says, see if there's a spark. If not, you'll have to check out the distributor/ opto trigger on the right of the valve cover. My old Primera used to stop once it was warm because the ignition transistor failed. You can replace this for about £70. Hope this helps

hi rajesh your sure its not your starter motor get your alternator checked to.

hi rajesh,remove a spark plug to see if ignition is working (petrol) on a diesle undo the fitting at the top of the injector to see if fuel is getting through
