Nissan Repair: 96 nissan altima, mass airflow sensors, nissan altima

Question
my car makes the cranking sound but doesn't actually start.it started a couple of times then shut off as we were driving.we replaced the battery,and the coil.There was a key broken off in the ignition some time back do you think that has anything to do with it or what do you think?Also,we have had to charge the battery a few times in the last month.thank you!!!

Answer
Deena,

If the car cranks and then dies there is probably an issue with the spark plugs or the fuel pump.  Email me back if the check engine light is on.  If this is the case you will need to get the codes read as the Altima is known for blowing mass airflow sensors.
