This problem was most likely caused be very short trips and not allowing the engine to run hot enought to exspand the rings.This was a very common problem with the old sentras and altimas with alot of milage on them and it coused the cylinders to wash out.Check to see if you have compression in each cylinder. If not add a couple of drops of oil to help seal the rings. To get it started if you have a air hose just blow out the cylinders, if not pull the fuse to the fuel pump and crank the engine over.Leave the plugs in. After several attemps insert the fuse to see if you can hear the engine trying to start. Keep turning the engine over at the same time pull and insert the fuel pump fuse.You should get it started. Once running give the old girl a good running for atleast 20 min.
