Could be one of the belts or belt tensioner. Start the engine and get your ears under the hood to find which one.

My 1996 Nissan Sentra GXE automatic GA16DE acts like it's trying to turn over but it won't start. I've already tested the battery, it's good, also cleaned the battery terminals; replaced the fuel pump relay, change the spark plugs in Sept 2018 & checked them after this problem started for any cracks, changed the spark plug wires, the rotor & distributor, the car still won't start. I can hear the fuel pump when I turn the switch on. Any ideas on what else could be the cause of the engine not engaging to start? Thank you. 1 Answer

I have a 1989 Nissan Sentra that is hesitating/missing + rough idle (dies at stop signs). Thing is, it does very well going up steep, long hills -- lots of power, no problems. But when I ease up on the accelerator, or on the flats or slight downhills, it starts jerking/hesitating/missing. If I floor it, then it kicks back in and is fine for a while. Also, it sometimes dies at stop signs. It has new spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor, oxygen sensor, fuel filter. Ideas? 1 Answer
