Nissan Sentra 2003 GXE 1.8L intermittent starting issue. Cranks over fine but does not fire. Day or two later starts up and runs great. Suddenly, no start again.

I did take out the mass air flow sensor and cleaned it, but it looked very clean to start with.

Sounds like an intermittent crank or cam sensor.

Testimonial: "Ok, thanks. Starting there should be cheaper than changing out the fuel pump."

2003 Nissan Sentra GXE 1.8 intermittent starting problem. Car turns over fine but does not fire. Day or two later it starts up and runs great for a week or two. Suddenly, won't start again. Seems odd that...
Your reasoning is good.
It might not be the fuel pump or the camshaft sensor.
However, there are about 10 - 20 other things it could be.
God bless your efforts to find someone to diagnose this.

If the car has a chip key, the ignition may not recognize the key. Try another key or read the trouble code and the chip reader may not be working.

Sentra that will Not start
If it cranks smooth as you say there may be no compression in which case the timing belt is broken! Not good.

A wet air filter was put into my nissan sentra gxe with a 1.8L engine. It will start and idle, but won't rev much past 2000 rpm's. The filter was rmoved and the car sat in the sun all day hopi
never wash or wet an air filter as it closes up the pores in the paper element
fit a new element and then run the fault codes or reset the ECM using a scan tool

Turn ignition switch and it wants to start but will not. Tried the batter, looked at the fuses and we cannot find the problem. 2002 Nissan GXE
Fuses will not keep car from running. Battery is fine if the car cranks over and almost starts. You need to look if you have fuel to the engine, spark to fire the gas, and if the timing belt is there or broken.
