I use a Nissan Primera 2000 Model. Recently I noticed the car does not start immediately untill after 3 to 5 mins. Even if it starts it goes again untill I give it little time before it starts normally and moves smoothly, no jerking, accelerates smoothly and normally, doesn't smoke,consumes fuel normally etc.

Please what could be the problem...

Run a diagnosis on your powertrain

First thing is to check the Voltage output of your battery..

Then you can do the rest.

This is always a tricky issue and the usual reason is low fuel pressure.

Look out for faulty fuel pressure regulator or a weak fuel pump.

I say its tricky cos a kazheem cld make you buy thirty new fuel pumps and still not solve the problem and a car scanner won't even help you here.

Make sure your mechanic has a fuel pressure tester to work with else he might beat about the bush till thy kingdom comes n make u spend more money than necessary.

I'm guessing likely problem Shld be the fuel pump pressure, but what do you mean by thirsty fuel pump, I tot all fuel pumps disperse the same pressure?

Thanks Chief.
You are absolutely correct as the diagnosis was a Weak Fuel pump. The guy actually used the fuel pressure tester and believe me I knew immediately that the fuel pump was the culprit.
The vehicle is now back to its one-time start mode.

I said "thirty" as in 30 different fuel pumps.
