We had a car where the battery tested fine, but was causing the car to be possessed. Went to Walmart and replaced it. Fixed all problems. I also had a car with a cracked gas cap causing moisture in the fuel. Replaced the cap and added gas treatment for a while to resolve. I had tightened the gas cap too tight and cracked the plastic seal.

Whether they found internal engine damage and deemed repair necessary is irrelevant to the starting issue. That would not cause a no-start or intermittent no start. I would be asking to talk to the mechanic(s) themselves who typed the diagnosis into the computer in the first place, and ask them what they did to confirm their diagnosis. Did they do a compression test and found the bad cylinder? Did they use a borescope to look inside the cylinder and find out that way?

Just tell them to figure out your no start issue. If it's just a simple matter of fuel or spark, it isn't that hard to diagnose those problems. A simple 5 minute fuel pressure check would eliminate one of the possibilities.

Thanks. As I suspected no one from the dealership has contacted me so I'm probably going to see how it drives over the next few days. I'm only at 32000 miles and my warranty is good to I believe 60000 so I've got some wiggle room. I'm a bit afraid to press them about it because I really don't trust them. How do you test for a bad cylinder? Someone told me they do a compression test, should I have it checked elsewhere?

Have a 2011 versa 1.8 and it had p2101,p0223,p0123 and p1217, it overheated and the engine was rebuilt , new plugs and now it won't start, it cranks but no fire, it sounds like the fuel pump is working and I think the throttle actuator is working ,
