I have a 95 SE (purchased May 94) that has been doing that intermittantly
for years. I find that jiggling the key while turning it helps. For that
reason I thought it was an ignition switch problem, but apparently some
people have replaced the ignition switch without any improvement.

When it does happen, I do hear a single click in the dashboard (or on
firewall?) when I turn the key. So maybe it is a problem with a relay
somewhere. My starter was replaced many years ago and cranks smoothly
(not the loping crank before original failed when it stopped on its dead
spot).<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

The manual would be great. Thanks.

I have been also experiencing a similar problem at my 95 Maxima recently. Nothing happened when I turned the key at start position. Even a jump had no help. After waited for an hour or so, I could started the car again without any problems. It has happend twice in the past two days. Any ideas please?
