Apply gas and die from lack of gas

Make sure your exhaust system is not clogged. If the exhaust gases cannot exit freely it will cause lots of problems. If the engine has a carb it is possible that your float is stuck and is causing the engine to flood. Also make sure that air filter and related intake is not clogged, lack of air into engine will cause problems.

I had a 2002 nissan xterra in my garage with the same problem. they all have very common distributor issue on them. replace the distributor with new one

Sounds like a air control sensor which is located on the air in take pipe in between the air cleaner and throttle housing , easy to replace .

throttle position sensor or crank position sensor. but first have it on a fault diagnosis machine to find a fault code and go from there

sounds like the fuel line still has air in it. this should correct itself if you can get the engine to run long enough. fuel pressure builds on the pump side of the fuel rail and when there is an exess ammount of pressure (lack of fuel consumption) the fuel regulator should send the extra gas back to yhe tank to run thru again. try holding down on the accelerator when starting this should send extra fuel to the injectors and may help "prime" the line. you cant flood the engine so dont worry about that just dont over rev the cold engine. this should clear up on its own. the only other thing it could be is an obstruction in the fuel filter or the inlet sock on the in tank pump. if thre was a lot of sediment in the tank it got sucked up withe the last bit of gas in the tank, you may have to change out the filter.

check the map sensor, tps, and air temp sensors. Also test fuel pressure.

sounds like you got somethin in your tank or lines. Do you only have one fuel filter? Did you change your air filter by a chance? Start ther then let us know

it could be the fuel filter or fuel pump. get both of those checked and also get the fuel pressure regulator checked

check the fuel pressure,replace the fuel pump-its in the tank

Replace full pump in tank.
