ok, i just wanted to see if anyone had any idea's on this, the dealer's closed tonight and tomorrow, so i wanted suggestions before then. i have a 2005 nissan sentra and i'm the only owner. all of the fluids are full, the oil was just changed two days ago, and it has gas! but, when i go to start it, it just turns, but doesn't actually start. the batteries not dead, the lights, radio, etc. all turn on and work, it just won't turn on! any ideas?

2005 is pretty new. Unless you have a LOT of miles on, I don't think the spark plugs and wires would give out and not certainly not all at once. I am not sure I understand when you say 'it just turns' Do you mean that the key turns in the ignition but nothing happens? or do you mean that the starter turns (spins) put does not encage the engine? or do you mean that the engine will turn over with the starter, but will not run ? I believe that there is a wire that runs from the battery down to the solinoid on the starter, that might come off and if that is so, then the starter would do nothing when the key is turned. If you can find a loose wire and shove it back on, its a 30 second fix. If you are unsure, wait for the dealer.

It could be your not getting a spark but your getting fuel. If this is so, you will either need to replace your ignition coil, or your ignition module, depending on what went out first. I would check your ignition module first, you can find it under the distributor cap (where all the wires come from) and its a little black square that can be tested for free at a Auto Store. If that is fine, I would look at the ignition coil..

If it doesn't "try" to catch, it's probably the fuel pump fuse/relay, or the fuel pump itself.
If it DOES try to catch, but won't stay running, it could be timing from a timing belt/chain that jumped a tooth, or ignition/computer problems.
2005 should still be under warranty, I presume thats why you said "only owner"

could have a plugged fuel filter or bad fuel pump or both.Could have lost power to the throttle possition sensor.
