1987 Nissan Pathfinder 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 188k miles

Okay. Keep in mind it is 10 degrees here right now. My pathfinder has run solid! No engine problems. Just replaced starter and alternator. The other day, I had drivin in cold weather about a quarter mile when she stalled out. The engine starts, is getting juice, just won't turn over. Over 1/4 tank of gas. Suggestions?

Check what's missing fuel or spark-Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
