There is a sensor in the distributor that tends to cause this problem. The sensor is the called the camshaft position sensor and it is responsible for the ignition timing. If you have a timing light you can verify that the sensor is faulty by checking the timing while the engine is acting up. If the sensor is faulty, the timing will be erratic or just plain wrong. In many cases cleaning the sensor will correct the problem.

To clean the camshaft position sensor: Remove the distributor cap and rotor. This will give access to a metal plate that covers the sensor. Remove the screws the secure the plate and remove the plate. Inside there should be an optical sensor that you can clean using a spray type "Sensor Safe Air-Intake Cleaner". Eye protection is recommended when doing this.

Unfortunately, cleaning the sensor does not always fix the problem. In that case, the fix is to replace the distributor. Since the distributor is quite expensive and the problem could be something else, it is recommended that you use a timing light to check the ignition timing for any problems to confirm that the problem is the camshaft position sensor.

I am not sure I understan tghe question. You should not have a lot of pressure in the tank. There are hoses that capture any vapors that are in the tank and eleviate pressure build up.
Most often I have found the engine light on because of gas tank vent, such as loose
or bad gas cap or the vent valve stuck open. The computer does a cycle ever so often
and maintains the vent pressure build up in the gas tank and vapor canister, and if the purge valve sticks open the computer gives a check engine light and code as the pressure is not in the vapor storage tank when called for.
If your worried about no pressure at all then I would change the gas cap and see if this helps

My Nissan Quest 2000 does not start at all. The battery and the starter are fine. The problem has to do with resetting the alarm system. Can anybody help me with this problem?

A mechanic fixed the same problem about three years ago. It took him less than 10 minutes to fix it. He said that the process consists of about 5 or six simple steps. Now I don't remember what exactly he did.

you must do a search for the owners manual it will have the sequence in it for programming the remote control to reset the alarm you must disconnect the battery cables then reconnect the ground first then connect the + when the alarm sounds press a button on the remote control to shut it off if this works it should now disable the starter disable circuit and let the car start make sure the remote has a fresh battery in it LATER MAN!
