Why does my Nissan Sentra have a hard start?
I am hoping I can get some help. I have a 2008 Nissan Sentra. One day the horn stopped working. (might not be related). Then it started to have a hard start issue. Was worse when cold. When I moved the car to the garage I noticed that there was a noise that sounded like a can full of marbles being shaken.
Why did my Nissan Sentra p0340 not start?
The P0340 came back. I did some research and read that there was an issue with the timing chains stretching. Due to the marble noise and the cam sensor alarm it made sense to me that it had stretched. I took the timing cover off and the chain was very loose.
What does no spark mean on a Sentra?
Put everything back together and still crank with no spark/ no start. Put code reader on and now there was no codes. Sounded like no compression now though. Started to turn by hand and the engine began to build compression. (weird) Tried to test compression but my tester did not have the right fitting.

What are the timing marks on a Nissan Sentra?
Put all new parts in. Checked all timing marks 10 times. Put a rod down each cylinder with valve cover off and watched the Piston go from TDC on compression to power, exhaust , intake , compression stroke in the firing order 1,3,4,2. With cylinder #1 facing the passenger tire.
What to do if your Sentra has no spark?
Put a rod down each cylinder with valve cover off and watched the Piston go from TDC on compression to power, exhaust , intake , compression stroke in the firing order 1,3,4,2. With cylinder #1 facing the passenger tire. Also watched the cams during this. Everything felt good and looked correct.
