It seems you have a timing problem. Have the engine timed properly. If that does not work it could be a craked rotor or distributor cap. have all these checked.

SOURCE: Where is the blower resistor on a 2001 Nissan Sentra?

Its actually not that bad to change. If you open the glove box and remove the screws then the screws along the bottom of the glove box at the bottom of the dash the box will slide out. Remember to disconnect the light if it has one. Now you will be able to see the underside of the dash. You can see a large black box that has wires and vacuum lines all over. You need to locate a small flat plate with two screws and a plug in the middle. Disconnect the plug and remove the screws. The resistor will come straight out. The back side will look like small coiled up springs of different sizes. Install in reverse.Hope this helps. Good luck. Please re-post with updates. Thanks cj2176.

SOURCE: i have a 2001 nissan sentra that the motor turns

Hello, My name is Mike.

There is several things as you can imagine that could cause a car to not start if cranking. Good news is at least its cranking so that eliminates some things.

I try and have you test the most easiest cheapest thing first, then we go to plan B if that still does not work. Here is first what I want you to do.

If the car is run from cold for only a short period of time when you stop the engine the fuel pump continues to run on for a while. The pressure builds up and fuel leaks past the injectors into the cylinders. If the engine is warm enough it evaporates. If not it condenses over the spark plugs and when next you try to start it it is flooded and turning the starter just pumps more fuel in and makes matters worse.

Simple remedy is lift the hood and in the fuse box you'll find a fuse for fuel pump which should be removed. (check owners manual to locate if cant find)

Then crank the engine repeatedly with your foot to the floor just to pump lots of air through to dry things out.

Replace the fuse and start the engine.


NOW if this did not work with a couple of attempts from start to finish, then these are the things you need to check or possibly replace.

Again, I always try and look at the easiest for you first and well as cheapest, First check your plug wires, making sure no cracks and good connections. Then see if you can pull at least one plug, and inspect it, if it looks real black then it should be replaced, is misfiring. Check or replace Cap, and Rotor if carburetor, If fuel Injected, and always get a can of injector cleaner from auto Zone and they can even tell you were to hook it up on intake of injectors to clean injectors. Next would be checking your EGR and possible have to replace. But before that, I would replace Fuel filter as that is cheap and should be done regularly anyway.

Point is this, if you have good plugs, and wires, and EGR is good, and fuel filter is good, then it should start. I think the first method at top might solve it, but PLEASE first find your fuel pump relay to make sure your getting fuel. You can test this if getting fuel or not, by getting some starter fluid and spraying into intake area, as you crank it, if it cranks then it is not getting fuel, then could be fuel pump relay, fuel pump, or even a vacuum leak. When you turn on car (not start) listen with head out door to see if you can hear fuel pump coming on, should be like a buzzing type or Humming sound. That will also confirm your fuel pump is working. Then if it cranks, and wont start, then were back to fuel filter, fuel relay fuse, or vacuum leak, or like i said EGR. Please keep me informed. Thanks Mike

2001 nissan sentra cranks but wont start

Dean, it looks like your on the right path ,with all 3 things as you stated it should do something, did you try a little starting fluid , you could use a timing light to check for good steady spark . what other kind of work have you done to it ? re check your work ,when you did compression test how did the plugs look =clean =soaked in fuel = nothing at all? Woody.

I have nissan sentra b15 2001 the car starts but do not exlarate , the scaner detect the air flow sensser is bad , i got new one but now the car cranck but wont start yes i have spark

did you replace it with new one, or used one?? also have you replaced your air filter and used NISSAN only air filter. something tells me that you had non nissan/aftermarket air filter installed and that is why your air flow meter failed. you need to use nissan air filter ONLY in your model nissan. sentras do not like non nissan air filter, because non nissan filters are not coated in small amount of oil and let foreign particals / dirt go pass the filter and that will fry your $500 air flow meter.
