SOURCE: Nissan Sentra "Service Engine Soon" and uncontrolable shaking.

could be a number of things with the check engine light on,from what you are describing though, I am going to sugest you look for vacum leaks, broken hoses and such and also listen for a wistling sound. I also had this happen to me but on diffrent type of car, and it was the hose that went to my pcv valve.

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.

2001 Nissan sentra gxe starts when engine is cold, rough start when engine is warm. What do I have to fix?

When a hot engine is hard to start, most of the causes are fuel related problems. Fuel cannot circulate well due to the way in which vapor blocks it.

1992 nissan sentra engine turns hard to start when cold it has spark takes a while to start after it starts i turn it off try again it starts every time

I recently came across a Sentra that had a blown head gasket. A head gasket can blow in a number of ways, this one was blown between number 2 and 3 cylinder, as well as between 3 and 4 cylinder, across the combustion chambers.
One would expect the car to at least misfire, but this one didn't, it ran like a clock, only had power loss and hard starting when cold.
Just try to have a compression test taken at your local service station and see what gives.
The only other suggestion I have is that your fuel pump may be dicey. The logic is that when cold, the car had stood for a while and fuel had run back from the carb through the pump valves and it takes some time for the pump to push it back to the carb. When it eventually does, the engine will start and when you switch it off and start again, the fuel is there and the engine kicks over immediately since the fuel did not have time to run back.
Someone else have a handle on this one?

2001 nissan sentra with QG18 engine. at cold start, it misses for about 10 seconds and then resolves.the MAF is new and plugs cleaned and injectors cleaned via fuel additive. cant imagine what it is

I would have the coolant checked for hydrocarbons. If there are hydrocarbons present you have a bad head gasket. The misfire at startup could be from coolant being in the cylinders. This would also explain the loss of coolant with no visible leaks and the inability for the cooling system to **** in coolant out of the recovery tank.

I have a 2001 Nissan Sentra and my heat is not working I have taken it to my mechanics and he can not figure out why it is not working he checked my head gasket and all heating coils, and even replaced the...

I would check the water pump for proper operation. The pump can fail where the shaft is disconnected from the impeller. The engine will spin the shaft but very little water pumping is done. This would explain why the engine coolant is not circulating very well especially into the heater where you need it.

The water pump can also have a bad bearing in it which would make it harder to turn and slow down engine cranking speed---making cold starts difficult. Also check that the battery is fully charged, the battery terminal connections are clean and tight, and you have the proper viscosity of oil in the engine.

Heater blowing cold air

My 05 sentra with 79k miles heat will warm up and then get cold after a mile of driving, we have tried to get the air pocket out, the mechanic stated he thought it could be a blown head gasket, another mechanic said it was a bad heater core. Any advice would be appreciated.
