because a diesel engine ignites its fuel with pressure, and not with a spark like a petrol engine. that is why a petrol engine does not need as high a compression ratio as a diesel engine

What could be wrong with a 1995 Chevy Suburban if it only starts when you pour gas in the carborator but then stops?
Always go back to the basics: Fuel, ignition and compression. An easy way to check the fuel is to shoot a little starting fluid into the throttle body while someone else attempts to start the engine. If the engine starts briefly or tries to start while you are spraying starting fluid, you have a pretty good indication that you have fuel prolems. An easy way to check the ignition system is to find a spare sparkplug, pull 1 sparkplug wire from the engine an connect it to the spare plug. Lay the plug on a metal surface somewhere on your engine. Have an assistant try to start the enine and watch the sparkplug. If you have no spark, the problem is somewhere in the ignition system. If all else fails, check the compression.

Does a 1994 Nissan Quest have two thermostats?
No, it has only one. Follow the upper radiator hose to where it meets the enine block on the passengers side. There is also a bypass hose meeting at the same place. The thermostat is located under this housing. I think there are 4 bolts holding it on. It is difficult to get the housing off as there is very little space on this side of the engine.
