1st off it's nice to see someone else from the southeast. 2nd the service engine soon light is the check engine light. If at all possible scan the car for stored codes, you can rent a scan tool from a parts house and DIY. They will charge you for the tool but refund the money when you bring it back.
If it won't turn over there is a few possibility's. 1 battery, 2 starter 3 you locked it up. From the description it sounds like you had a bad crank/cam sensor, then ignored it and it has gotten even worse. I have seen 100's of altima's that wont start but will turn over and 90% of the time it was the cam/crank sensor's.
If you replace them or have someone replace them follow these words from a guy who works on them everyday. DO NOT use the cam/crank kit! Same junk you just had go bad on you. You can replace the cam sensor with what you had in it, ABSOLUTELY do NOT put the same crappy crank sensor back in. For the good crank sensor go to the dealer and ask for the metal crank sensor. When Nissan figured out the junk of crank sensor's they had, they had a better one with a metal sensor tip. It rarely goes bad.
I've seen the same OEM sensors put in and they go bad as soon as the next day.
What happens is the sensors don't have a good seal and they leak internally which then gets into the connector. Which fries them again.
