hi i have a 92 nissan maxima se twin cam v3000 engine distributorless ignotion.my car does not start but cranks,fuel pump works because i connected it direct and it came on.i have gas checked all fuses,someone told me it might be the timing,before this the car was heating up and idling erratically,so i changed the water pump and nothing,it would take a while for it to heat up and i drove it 2 miles everyday,when suddenly it shut off while i was driving and never came back on...
