sounds like a battery with a weak cell. if you put a voltmeter on the battery and it drops to 10.5V (about) when the starter is engaged, you've got a weak cell and that is probably the cause of the weak start. It could also indicate a weak charging circuit or a battery cable that isn't making good contact due to corrosion (between the terminal and clamp) or just being only snug and not tight.
It could also indicate a warped or slightly off center flywheel. Starter shims might solve this one though.

For the Queston about the van...... there was some major work after I bought it. The exhaust manifold bolts/studs were replaced, both lower A frames were replaced, tierod ends & swaybar bushings also. The engine is Nissan 3.0 with 220,813 miles. Runs good & burns no oil. I paid $300. for it & put the extra money in it, so far it's a good deal. By the way, my '96 Maxima just turned 250,000 miles today! Thanks to everyone for their input & advice. I'll be back for more most likely.

sometimes I miss the 89 acura legend we had... 285K on it when we traded it for the 93 vic. had no working AC (used 5/60 ac - had a sunroof), the power steering pump was going bad (acura parts are 'spensive - $250 for that pump), numerous little oil leaks, but that thing would still haul and sit you down. at the time I didn't have the money to fix it all up (nor did I really want to due to the amount of rust that was creeping up). definitely good times with that one.
