I have a 1995 Nissan 240sx. Stressed over this simplest problem. The car has no spark. Changed disturber, ECU, checked cables, spark plugs. EVERYTHING. Has me very frustrated. ECU has power. Distributor has power. All the fuses are good. Took it to a mechanic and he got it to run. He said its the wring harness and wired it "track" set up. Which it started and ran great for coupe of hours and once again it gave up on me. So clueless i know its something dumb. :picardfp:

Anyone has ideas or same issue ?

When you go to start it, do you hear the starter engaging? Ignition Cylinders can go bad and so can Starter Solenoids which I believe are built into our starters and not separate. You could always try using a screwdriver on the starter or if its a 5spd, pop the clutch.

EDIT: Remember to triple check your terminals at the battery. Bad Power Terminal or Ground could cause weird issues starting intermittently.

Update! I got spark in the rotor but not getting any spark in the wires. And the ECU light turns off when i crank it and turns on when the ignition is on

well you can take the easy route and get a new harness which would make life easy or you could always track it down with the volt meter and check your power lines also try to trace your negatives it might be that is grounding out
