You'll have to figure out if it is a fuel or ignition problem.
Is the check engine light on ?

Modern vehicles are bristling with sensors, all reporting to the Engine Management System. These need to be inspected, for possible loose wires, bad connections or even broken wires.

The car in question is a 96 Nissan Sentra. After the car starts it dies out and the engine is running really loud. We got the car started by pressing the gas pedal down all the way. What do you think that...

This most probably is an issue called "drowning" by some mechanics. There is too much fuel inside your carb and not enough air that is why when you push the pedal all the way it starts. When you step on the gas more air is let through to match the fuel. Remember, do not pump the gas pedal because it also pumps more fuel into the carb even when not running, this will cause starting issues.

My 1994 nissan sentra needs to have gas pedal pushed when starting. It is idling rough at red lights in drive and it dies when backing if accelerator is not engaged quickly.

Check for codes. Check out the throttle position sensor

I have a 2008 Nissan Sentra and want to change

Carefully remove the plastic panel from the left side of the center console next to the accelerator pedal. That will expose the heater coil and lower duct. Next to the accelerator pedal there is a long, slender cover that is removable. Pull down gently on the bottom to unsnap, rotate out, and remove from top hinge. The filter is there. Reverse operation to restore console.
