99 Maxima Won't Start
I started my maxima after refueling, and it was okay for about a second before it stalled. It hasn't started since. Thinking my key could've demagnetized somehow, I tried the spare. Nothing. It cranks, but won't turn over.
Now it sits in a parking lot of a garage in WV. I was on the way back from camping, but 2.5 hours away from home, I got stranded. Hopefully the country folk at the garage can figure it out. In the meantime, I thought I'd ask for possible culprits here.
Fuel pump? Fuel pump regulator? Fuel filter? Solenoid?
Please help. I'm at the mercy of a truck shop in the boonies.

Welp
I'm having it towed to a Nissan dealer. 130 miles Nissan, w/o looking at it, thinks it's the immobilizer. I will work with them on disabling this part of the anti-theft system if this is the case.

Yea from the brief description, it sounds like the immoblizer. I dont think you can disable it. The chip in the key sends a signal to the ecu telling it the key is legit. I dont think you can switch an earlier year ecu in there either. Your kinda outta luck unless you want to get a new car.
