It is very possible that the cap and rotor are on wrong. if the spark coming from the cap isnt going to the right cylinder, you will have cranking but no start.
let me start by saying this is MY way of fixing the problem if you KNOW that the above is the issue. This is not the correct way, and i dont know if this could cause any damage so do at your own risk, all i know is it worked for me.
Put the rotor on a cylinder of your choice. try to crank the motor, if it doest crank, reset to the same cylinder and repeat the process untill the motor finally turns over.

check the ignition coil, power control module, fuel pump relay,fuel pressure, fuel pump and oil pressure switch.

it sounds like the injectors are not opening up man.. replace the injectores and this should fix your problem..good luck keith....

this is a 1.8L but the firing order is the same for a 1.4, just can't find a picture of that engine,

Stang: Nissan had a TSB on weak spark related to the Altima's and Sentra's. It had to do with water getting trapped in the spark plug tubes due to the steam hole vents in the plug wires becoming clogged and/on the wires no longer sealing well to the motor, thus allowing water to accumulate into the plug holes. This would cause a weak spark condition. You would still get an injector pulse as long as the ignition can be triggered.
As far as fuses: There is a box on the driver's side which contains fusible links and fuses. Unless you are checking for power with the ignition on, most of the circuits will be dead because they are switched circuits through the ignition switch. The headlights will be hot without the key on, as will the running lights,horn and brake lights.
However due to the fact that you have light spark and have injector pulse, would tell me that you have power to the ECM. If you want to check circuits, buy a cheap test light and follow the instructions. it is a simple diagnostic tool for checking for open circuits.
Hopeful I might have given you some direction. Good luck.
PS: if you replace plug wires, do so with a good quality wire. I have found that NGK wires and the Original equipment wires seem to be the best quality, lasting the longest. Life time warranty parts mean nothing if they fail at inconvenient times and with frequency. Many of these warranty's are gambles made by parts houses based on the fact that people loose their information, don't keep the cars and or just forgot they had the warranty and went out and replaced the parts again.
SOURCE: 87 vw fox wont start
I have an 87 fox that won't start. Got good spark, so it must be fuel. The car wants to start but no fuel. I understand that a 87 Fox has 2 fuel pumps. One for the top of the tank and one for the bottom. I know the bottom one died years ago but now I believe the top one has gone. Where can I find it on the car and how can I check. Or do you think it may be something else?
Thanks,
