Have a '97 sentra with 1.6 and about 2 weeks ago this happened.

Sat night car was parked outside so i started it and moved it into the garage (run time less then a minute--car had been sitting for atleast 24-36hrs). Turned it off went to bed. (temp was well below 30F--even in the garage). Next morning would not turn over, that night would not turn over, next morning would not turn over. Signed onto this site, read a couple things, then proceeded to:Take out spark plugs (left them out for a few hours), got new ones, put them in(along with some oil in each cylinder), and then turned it over (using my other car for a power source--jumper cables) for a solid minute or more with accelerator to the floor. Finally started after what seemed like eternity.

I hate this engine!...but atleast if you know what NOT to do, seems to work every time.
