This morning my 1998 Nissan Sentra did not start. It comes very close to turning over and starting, but it just doesn't make it. I attempted to jump start it with no luck. I have replaced the spark plugs, and I have verified that the fuel is making it through the fuel filter. Any suggestions?

Try this

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing.

Fuel pump and Injector/s checks out-start checking the ignition system-power to coil, coil/s itself, distributor pick-up, control module, Cam and Crankshaft sensors.
