I woke up one very morning to realise that my car won't start i went ahead to even changethe start but still the car wont start...please help me
Are the cables and battery posts ok! jump start to see if you get enough power to turn starter over. if it starts, then it may be a bad battery. if car is running and at battery you should have at least 13.6 to 14.2 if alternator is ok. another test is to have car off, turn on headlights with meter on battery posts, if the voltage drops way down. its the battery thats bad. good-day !

Verify 12V at the starter (+) lead.
If there is NOT 12VDC - first check the cables - they may be frayed or damaged or improperly connected at battery or starter.
If there is 12V, and no click when trying to start - the solenoid is faulty. You can JUST replace the solenoid, but its worth your time and effort to replace the unit as a whole. (you have to remove the starter anyway).
If there is 12V, and a click when trying to start - the starter is faulty - Replace starter.
If there is 12V, and click and whine (like a motor spinning) when trying to start - starter gear has been stripped or broken off. - Replace starter.
If no 12V the starter relay is bad.
If relay is good - your problem lies in the ignition module, or key tumbler.

Its a good bet. Be sure the battery connections are good too.. Flip on the headlights and then try to start it.. have someone watch the lights.. If they go dark. You have a bad battery or bad connection. If the lights stay bright then you need to look at starter connections/starter/starter solenoid.

hand it over to a mechanic or Nissan. If you recently had an M.O.T and it went of quickly then ask for a refund, even better, ask him to take a look at the car again

Make sure you have the plug wires on the correct plug. Check the
ignition timming to make sure it is correct. After running for a few
minutes pull the pluggs to see whitch cylinders are running rich. The
fuel pressure and volume need to be tested.

Additionally, try checking the power transistor. I will send the test. Also make sure the coil has a good ground...
Hope this helps; keep us updated.
