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.
