    Sentra won't start

    96 Sentra 1.6, was running a little rough so I changed plugs, rotor and cap.
    On my first try it started and ran fine, cut it off and started again with
    no problem. Went back the next day to drive it and it will not run.
    Has spark, fuel, timing seems to be correct, it just keeps flooding.

    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Dennis

    Sounds like it's ready for the salvage yard.

    Sounds like its "super flooded". Done that with my 97 Sentra last
    year, and my 2000 Frontier just a couple of weeks ago. Happens in the
    winter when you start up and turn it off with cold motor. Both times, I
    had started up, and turned back off before engine warmed up or idle
    dropped down to normal. Cold start injector keeps dumping fuel into the
    crankcase. You'll know when your dipstick smells like gas.

    You can fix it, though. Remove and clean up the gas soaked
    plugs, reinstall, remove fuel pump fuse (keep it in your hand), then
    start up. Once it catches, pop the fuse back in. It'll sputter a little
    and then smooth out. You might have to repeat process a couple of times
    to get all the gas blown through. Took me three times on my Sentra, and
    twice on the Frontier.
