Ok, my car's electrical system is shutdown. nothing works at all. my dad tried jumping it with booster cables and nothing happened. no sound or nothing turning over. for the past few weeks, whenever i tried to start it cold, it would make a funny sound, like a squeel sound. when it would start up, i would have to press the gas in order for it to start up, if not, it would bog down and die. so does anyone know what my next step would be? thanks!

 

could be the starter,my friend and his sentra just went threw this or maybe your battery is completly dead...

 

hhm sounds like starter, but the boggin down issue is because you need to clean your tb, and iacv. it used to happen to me in the cold

 

For one, the battery is completely dead. Just a boost wont start it. The battery will need to be charged. I would start with charging the battery or getting a new one. Second will be getting the alternator checked to see if it is putting out the voltage it should be putting out.

 

a sensor could be bad, u might wanna check that possibility out

 

The result was the battery was completely dead. Went to VIP and bought a battery and it fired right up. Once the weather starts getting warmer up here, I will be cleaning out the TB and other misc things aswell. Time for a tuneup this spring. Thanks guys!

 

Umm....did you check your alternator also?
