Why is your 1993 Altima Nissan making a clicking noise but does not start?
Check for fuel and spark
check for spark. check for fuel pressure.
No it doesn't. They didn't start in-cabin filters for the Altima's until 2000.
A bad crankshaft in a 96 Altima could cause the engine not to start. Depending on the crank damage, the engine could start but not run properly.
Specify the year.
It sounds like a spark problem. Check if there is spark. Suspect the coil. Then inspect the fuel system, may not be getting fuel. Check fuel pump.
If you have the three things that you need Fuel, air, and spark then timing must be the culprit
overheated and wont start
