Ok.. i have a 2001 Nissan Sentra GXE 1.8L, 5 speed.
i went out of town for 2 weeks and it wasn't started for the two weeks i was gone. when i came back and tried to start my car it wouldn't start... after trying for a few minutes it started. i ran two miles down the road to the store and was in the store for about 10 minutes. when i came out my car wouldn't start again. so we towed it home. the next morning it started right back up. it has been doing this for close to 2 months now. it'll just turn over just like normal but wont fire. recently i bought some starter fluid and when it wouldn't start i tried the fluid and i was unsuccessful. a friend came over with his OBDII software and couldn't connect with my car. he told me to buy a new battery since mine was a cheap battery and 3 years old.. i bought a new battery and it started right back up... i drove it 2 miles down the road and while i was driving the gauges went crazy then it died. it wont start. my father and i believe it has something to do with wiring. i think maybe a rat or something chewed a wire or something. we thought it could be spark plug wires but there are none lol... maybe ignition coils?? BUT it would still start if one was bad, whats the chances of them ALL going bad at once... i don't have a clue as to what it could be... i have a sub and an amp, and my parents think its the wiring for that. but i've unhooked it all and still no start.... maybe some mechanic with some electrical experience could help... anything would be GREATLY appreciated... i am a high school student working a full time job trying to pay my bills... no car = BIG DILEMMA!
thank you guys so much!!
