Nissan Repair: 99 Sentra Will Not Start, nissan sentra, spark plug wire

Question
I have a 1999 Nissan Sentra 1.6L that came with a headache! The car cranks and turns over but will not start. It cut out on me while driving without warning and there were no abnormal sounds when it quit running. Have tested spark plugs, they're good, and tested for injector pulse with lights and all 4 flashed good. I have tested and come up with 45 psi of fuel pressure, post-filter. that should be enough for this engine right? Anyone please help me! possible problems? crankshaft or something in the distributor? timing chain? internal engine problem? ecu/electrical? please help, im getting stumped...

Answer
Hi Cordre -

Yes, 45 PSI is good.

Need some info. When the engine cuts out, is the car warmed up already? Does it restart right away, or do you have to wait about half hour or so?

How did you check the plugs? Spark? If not, then get a screwdriver remove a spark plug wire and wedge the blade of the screwdriver into the boot until it contacts the metal terminal inside. Hold the driver shaft 1/4 inch away from any metal surface while someone cranks the engine. Is there a spark jumping across the metal surface? Do this test only when the car is not starting.

Let me know
aloha
