Hey All,
My 2008 Nissan Sentra is not starting. Battery checked out good, which I assume the alternator is good also, otherwise, it would not have charged the battery. The starter seems good also as it "clicks", but fails to start when I turn on the ignition. Any and all suggestions are most welcomed. Thanks.

Not sure if this is related to your other post about car stalling when coming to a stop but if you're sure your alternator and battery are good, it sounds like you might have a bad ground. Take off both cables from the battery terminals (negative first), clean them up with some sandpaper and reinstall tightly. Check your grounding points around the engine bay and make sure they are clean and tight. You could have a faulty starter but start with the above first - I think you're not making a good connection somewhere.

Faja is correct but if your car is stalling at stop, you may have a clogged fuel filter.

Thanks all, the issue was the condenser. It became 'frozen'.
