my G wont start!

hello there!,

i have a problem with my G, so i've been away from the G for months but i asked my friend to run the car every now and then, anyway i came back 2 weeks ago and the car wont start, it feels like it's about to start but then it dies! and since my car is a US spec i cant take it to the dealer over here cuz they will give me a pain in the *** about not the same as the Middle East version....etc

the fuel pump was working so i suspected the spark plugs, changed them and still the car wont start so i thought the fuel pump is weak and not pumping enough fuel so i installed a different Nissan fuel pump (the electric motor inside the pump only) for now cuz i had to order the fuel pump from the US (US is different than Middle East pump lol) anyway the car ran for a week and then it died, today i got the package and installed the new fuel pump and still the car wont run!

i cant figure out what's wrong with it!, i changed the spark plugs, fuel pump and engine coolant temp. sensor

last error code i saw was P0183 ( Fuel Temperature Sensor A Circuit High Input)

any ideas on what's the problem here!?

Does it crank but struggle to start fully?

How did you check to determine the battery is fine?

Top the tank off with some fresh high octane gas and a fuel treatment plus dry gas.

well, i charged the battery before i changed all the parts to see if it was the problem! + the car ran for an entire week and everything was working fine (electronically) at first it struggled to start (dies couple of times after starting it but it will run at the end with no problems) and the weird thing is, it only do this in the morning (after the car been sitting for hours) , after it runs and come back again in few hours it starts with no problem!, and now it crank but doesn't start not even once!

If the battery is ok and the car crank , it could be Air flow sensor not hooked up.

It could be a dirty MAF sensors or throttle bodies. Get em cleaned and see If that helps

Is there a fuel smell? Could the injectors be clogged?

took her to the dealer (friends contact checked on it) cuz believe it or not the dealer gave an appointment on the 6th of Feb. LOL!, says the problem is not electrical. according to the mechanical, the engine is a mess. oil reached the spark plugs so there is no ignition and the engine is filled with fuel (Fuel Pressure Regulator is not working maybe!?) which is weird cuz i did not install after market fuel pump to increase the fuel pumping! only thing i did to affect the fuel is the tune but that was years ago!

at first they thought the compression inside the engine decreased! cuz it's been sitting and collecting dust for a while

will update later!
