I replaced the alternator and battery and still will not start up.I was told that it could be the timing chain. Help! This is very urgent!

I found that it was the pickup coil that is built into the distributor. I had the same problem with my sentra. I had also checked the spark and fuel pressure. Did change out the fuel pump.
