Why wont my 2005 Nissan Sentra start? I have checked the battery and all the fuses. Everything is ok. However, the car would crank but won't give a spark to initiate the engine? What could be the common problems?

Could be a crank sensor, coil, ignition module, bad plug wire--inspect these for proper function

One common problem with Nissan is ignition coils. Your symptoms would relate to that.

My 2002 nissan sentra will crank but won't start. i've replace the ecm/ecu, the cam/crank sensor or position, checked the fuel pump/pressure, and it still is doing the same thing. sometimes it

I assume you checked the fuel pressure and it is normal.
Are the spark plugs getting spark when it fails to start ?
Are you getting injector pulse from the computer ?
Any trouble codes stored in the computer ?

Car run if you aplicate gas on or starter fuid only we check fuel pump and relay look to be fine 2005 sentra 1.8

Check all fuses if ok. Possible failed crank sensor, this may cause the engine to misfire, hard starts, no start, stalls. This sensor is used by the computer to determine when each gas injector should release gas. This is a common issue on Nissan's 4cyl engines....Hopefully this helps!!

Car wont start

A few things might cause that, ECU, Fuel Pump/ Crank/Cam Sensors. You may want a nissan dealer to take a look at it.
