Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / August 20052002 Sentra is hard to start
I have 80,000 miles on my 2002 Sentra. Just recently while driving down the freeway I would lose acceleration for 5 seconds and then it would be fine for ten minutes. Then it would be fine for ten minutes and then a power loss. Sometimes it would stop all together on the freeway. I am able to start it up again and go, but now I have a hard time starting it. After a few cranks on the ignition it would start. I hear a buzz in the back, so I know the fuel pump works. Is there a distributor on this car or a sensor I can try. > I have 80,000 miles on my 2002 Sentra.

Just out of curiousity, I have a 2003 Sentra and was looking for the fuel filter yesterday. I have a 97 200sx as well, and it's right there! On my 2003 Sentra, I have yet to find the fuel filter. Anyone clue me in? Thanks! Regarding the original post, could it be bad gas/water in gas? There is no fuel filter in the 2002 sentra. There is a part called a fuel screen and it is located in the gas tank on the fuel pump. You will have to pull the gas tank to get to it. > There is no fuel filter in the 2002 sentra.

I did not know know that about a 2002 - pretty sure they had filters around 1999. Wonder why because a screen doesn't help very much.. Goes to show you that one learns something new every day. there *is* a fuel filter on the 2002 sentra. it is in the fuel tank, but you get to it from under the rear seat. remember there is pressure even with the car off, so if you're not familiar with this task it may be better for the dealer/shop to do it. >> There is no fuel filter in the 2002 sentra.
