I have a 93 altima, and the other day in the parking lot, it had trouble starting, then it started and i was driving, and it was like it ran out of gas, and just "stalled". got i ttowed home, rreplaced the fuel filter, rotor and distributer cap. still wont start. the plugs are getting sparks, but they are really wet after just one turn when i pull them out. why won't it start?? help. please and thank you.

well you probably have fixed this by now, but the distributor seal has a habit of leaking letting oil into the distributor. I had the same problem. I changed everything you did. Then, I actually took the distributor out and the oil had gotten into the sensor. You can wipe it out, replace the o ring or you might have to cough up the bucks for a distributor.
