The Altima began its production life in the 1993 model year as the simple, yet more modern replacement for the aged Nissan Stanza. The 1995 Altima came equipped with a 159-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, which received fuel via sequential electronic fuel injection. The relay for the fuel pump, which delivers fuel to the injection system, acts as a switch, as it has an electromagnet that activates when you turn on the ignition. This magnet pulls a pivoting switch downward to complete the circuit inside the relay, thereby delivering power to the fuel pump. Locating the fuel pump relay on the 1995 Altima is tricky, as there are multiple boxes that contain fuses and relays on this vehicle.
