I have a ’97 Nissa SentraGXE that has over 100k on it, but hasn’t had
any major problems until now. The other day I went to start it, and it
will crank, but won’t start. My brother has tried everything that he
can think of to fix it, but it isn’t happening. Does anyone have any
suggestions? Because I can’t afford another car at the moment.

You have to first determine if the problem is lack of fuel or lack of
ignition. One way to check ignition is to pull a spark plug wire,
attach an old spark plug to it, ground the outer electrode by holding
it against engine metal and crank the engine. You should see a
strong, consistent bluish spark. To check fuel, liberally squirt a
flammable solvent such as WD-40 or CRC into the air cleaner inlet and
then crank the engine. If it starts momentarily and dies, then the
problem is lack of fuel. Good luck. Al

sounds like its flooded, common problem


Hold your foot to the floor and crank it, don't let up till its starts then
keep it running till it clears the excess fuel out of the cylinders
