My engine turns over then chockes/stalls

I have a83 nissan sentra xe with 153k + miles on it. iv bought it a month ago and this started like 3 weeks into having it. I turn the key and the engine starts then sputters, shakes then shuts off...... battery light goes on, check engine light goes on the oil light and my brakes light goes on. Car has: newspark plug wires, Spark plugs, new distributor cap, air filter, oil, tranny fluid, fuel filter, my tiing belt was adjusted. sounds lik te engine is starving for gas. to get to work and back i have to hit the gas before it chokes so it can stay on.once moving the car is great on the road. shakes a lil at stop lights tho. i was thinking maybe dirty fuel injector?

My 2002 nissan sentra xe can't start. it wants to but it just won't turn over. it sounds like the car is out of gas but we just put gas

H Mkawaauhau, If the engine is turning on the starter but refusing to start, you may have one or more of several problems. I believe you should have a diagnostic scan carried out on the vehicle. the problem would seem to be the crankshaft or camshaft pick up sensor, a fuel delivery problem or the on board alarm anti theft unit. Regards John

2003 Cuts off when hot, will not start untill cool

My 2003 nissan sentra would get hot and stall out even in middle of highway doing 70 mph. The guages would go up and down. Would not start up all the time after stalling. had to cool down first. Nissan said it was head gasket, and wanted to charge 1000.00 for the job. I took to local dealer who charged me 550.00. Works fine ever since. Nissan dealer said they do like 3 head gaskets a week on the sentras. They have crappy ones in original parts. They have not recalled though.

1994 Nissan Sentra

Get a Chiltons/Haynes manual for your make/model/year and go to the troubleshooting section. It sounds like the same thing my little rabbit did years ago. Turns out it needed new fuel filters and the fuel tank flushed. The gunk kept impeding fuel flow. Didn't do good things for the fuel pump either.
