This only happens when the temps are in the mid 20's and colder. The
engine fire up roll over maybe two/three times then die. Of course the
more I do it the weaker the battery becomes. I have tried to start the
car about 8 times and now the battery is about dead. This happens
during cold start, first thing in the morning. When the temps are around
30F or so the car will star fine, but moments after it fires up, the
engine acts like it is going to quit, then it fires back up. The engine
seems to idle a little higher warmer mornings than very cold mornings.
Now the
first time it started to act up, a month ago, I held the accelerator
down and it fired up but just barely(that dont work now). Took the car
to Sears and they said the battery was fine. My guess is it may be bad
temp sensor. Why would the engine act like it might quit AFTER starting
on mornings when temps are around freezing, but wont start on mornings
where temps are in
mid 20s?

Hey whats going on,

I am having the exact same problem... did you figure out what was
going on with your sentra? It just makes me furious that these cars
are so weak in the cold weather. Second year I am having problems
with this car in the cold. Anyways, any info you can give me would be
great.
