Engine Performance problem
1995 Nissan Maxima 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 250.00 miles

At first I replaced the transmission. However, for two days it was very hard to start the engine, but it was possible. Now I am not able to start the car at all because there is no spark. The fuse is good and I replaced the ignition switch and the crank (REF and POS). I also checked the connectors and the wiring harness and everything works fine. The enjector impulse is good, but the spark does not work. I am wondering what could be wrong. Could there be a problem with the computer?

Thank you for your help.

Voltage that comes from the crank sensor is unpredictable. It ranges from 7 to 11 volts. I changed the crank sensor three times and there is still a problem.
