My nissan would sometimes stall when I ran the A/C, but it would always start backup and this didn't happen often, every now and then. One day I was driving and I stalled at a red light I put in nuetral to start back up and it would start back up the engine sounds like it is just about start but won't. I am getting power so I know it isn't the battery and the check engine light does not come on. When I turn the ignition it does sound like its just about to start and won't, could it be my starter or the fuel pump?

Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
