My '99 Nissan Altima won't start ?
Let me tell you something else before I give more details. I had a remote started installed in the car but unfortunately I lost the remotes. Same thing happend in January. All of the sudden the car will not start. I took the battery out and took it to the store, battery is good. I had the alternator and the started changed in January thinking those were the problems.
Now even if I jumpstart the car it will not start. After I reinsatlled the battery and hooked the car up to my friends SUV for few mins it started. I got it home and let it run for about 20 mins. Than at night I started it and let it run again for about the same time. But this morning when I tried to started it nothing happened.
This is got me worried since I dont have much money to spend on it. I have a mechanic that is willing to work with me but the only problem is that I dont want him to play guessing games on the car and keep changing things that dont need to be changed. I did read on the internet the it could be IGNITION COIL or bad battery wire.
Any help you guys give would greatly appericiated. Thanks in advance

Yes, it could easily be the battery terminals. Although if it is, and the mechanics didn't notice it, I wouldn't be taking your car back to them any time soon ;)
You can give the terminals a clean by using a wire brush and scrubbing the hell out of them.
I would also suggest taking off the distributor cap and seeing it's been flooded with oil. I'd also suggest a system test on your car.
