Asked by Jessica Nov 07, 2020 at 10:23 PM about the 2009 Nissan Altima

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2009 Nissan Altima. Well it started to sound kinda
rough while drive and I had a few people tell that it
sounded like a bad head gasket. I had decided to ask my
bf to do it well he got as far as taking off the heads before
I just told him to put it back together and wait until the
weekend. So he put it all back together but now it wont
start. I replaced the coil packs tho King that was it but it
still won't start. Any advice Please help

Double check the timing, since you had to remove the head there's a chance that it came out of time
