The coils are fired from the OBD box. If you changed the cams, make sure the pickup timing marks on the new cams are the same as on your old cams. The OBD reads the position of the cams from a sensor, which picks up the cam position from the cams themselves. If there is no signal, or a faulty signal from the cam sensor, the OBD will not fire.

free the engine from the compressor and then remove the plug then first insert the drive belt on the smaller pulley side and after that try inserting the belt on the larger pulley side slowly by rotating the pulley slowly by stretching the belt with a rope

try autozone.com to see if they have your car listed for diagrams pictures and step by step instructions if your car is not listed then try your local library they have all the car manuals and even copy them for you

SOURCE: blown head gasket

That would be a lot to type out on the computer.
My best advise would be to get a Chilton Manual at the autoparts store. It cost about $20. You'll get all the info you need plus pictures and diagrams. The Chilton book will be the best research material for the type of job you are going to do.

SOURCE: I have a 2002 nissan sentra SE-R. when the engine

Got the same make/model/year, but haven't had that problem. Does your temperature gauge run at half or above when this happens? If so, start with a cheap fix - new thermostat.

Another thing to consider is that some of the QR25DE engines equipped in the 02 Sentra SERs has an active recall on the crank position sensor. This fault would cause the check engine light to come on and the car would stall unexpectedly. It should start back up but the frequency of this will only increase without repair.

Also, no need to change plug wires, you have coil pack ignition - there is no distributor. If a coil pack is bad, you will have constant misfire and SES light.

I have a 2003 Nissan Sentra SER SPEC-V and have done all my own work. When the battery was replaced, was the Positive battery terminal taken off first, before the negative terminal? whenever doing work on a car with a ECM, the rule is: Negative terminal is ALWAYS taken off first, then the positive terminal. After changing battery, the positive terminal is put on first and then the negative terminal is put on last. I am not saying that you have an ECM problem but they can be damaged if you take off the positive terminal first.
Do you have any "check Engine Light" code issues? If you do, and you have access to an OBD2 code reader, check if any trouble codes come up. If you do not have access to one, you can go to an Auto Zone or other parts outlet and they will read it for free. Confirm that you have or do not have any Trouble codes. Let me know what you find out.
