I am a single mom and am now without a car and I just bought it 2 months ago!! It is a Nissan Sentra 1998, one owner 85,000 miles so thought I got a good deal. Now engine turns over but wont start. I was told there is no gas smell when you push the gas pedal so they think it is not getting gas to engine. It almost catches at times but just wont do it. What could it possibly be? How much am I looking at if I buy parts and do I need a mechanic?
Side note: It snowed and I am not used to snow so crashed into someone!!! I broke the right headlight and blinker and pushed in the bumper slightly on impact. Is there anything on that side that could be making it not start?
I really would appreciate any help. Please let me know if you need more details!
Thank you!
