Are you using the original key?
Sometimes the valet key, which is the key that comes new in the glove compartment, can have issues with its 'chip' as it sits in a generic plastic housing, while the original 'chip' is fused into the key.
Try using both keys if you have them, see if 1 way works, flip it 180 degrees and try the other way.
If you do not have the original key, you may need to get your key code reprogrammed, which is a dealer only type job.
An indicator that the key is the issue, is if the anti-theft light (red light that looks like a car with a key in it) will flas or stay on, while you are trying to start it. This light should turn off once you put the key in the ignition.

The ignition coils are a very common problem of shorting out over time on the Nissans.

I would go to a local shop to have the coils checked and the fuel pump pressure checked.

Good Luck

It's in the kick panel by the drivers left foot. Take off the cover and there should be a diagram on the inside showing which relay is for the fuel pump.

My 2005 nissan xterra won't start i bought a new battery still wouldn't start. but all lights and gaurges started to work. As were they didnt before the new battery

When you try to start does the motor spin but wont start or is there no noise at all, if its no noise at all then i would start by checking the starter and if it spins but wont start then try holding gas pedal down and cranking the motor with a dead battery it may have lost memory and will need to run awhile to relearn idle at start up and other readings you may need to hold gas pedal to keep running for a few minutes,start with this first.

Knock sensor in 2002 xterra se/sc

ok if it is getting spark at spark plugs that rules out ignition, let go to fuel, needs to check fuel pressure and also injector pulsation, if no pulsation fuel will not get into cylinder's, also a knock sensor will not keep an engine from starting, it controls ignition timing once engine is running.
