Okay try this, before you turn the key on, push the gas pedal down an a inch or so then turn the key on and you will hear like a puzz for a sec that's it putting gas to the engine, if you can't hear it Count to 7 then start car, don't let off the gas till it starts

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
