Yeah do you have a noid light?

Did you pull the wire off the coil and put a screw driver near it to see if it's sparking?

get a real spark plug tester. But did you make sure to lay the plugs on bare metal, if you got fuel, you got air, and you got spark, then its going to be timing

You're suppossed to lay them on it? I put them near the valve cover while testing. I figured I'd see a spark arcing through the spark plug itself or onto the valve cover at least?

There is definatly gas. I smelled it; unfortunatly, the screwdriver holes in the screw head round out before the screws loosen...so removing the injectors ia a no-go, but I DID smell gas.

I will also get a real spark plug tester to check. How can timing just suddenly go so badly out, though? I don't think that I touched anything, although who knows, I am a clumsy SOB. I hope nothing got bent if it was timing.

Read my post in Nissan tech, and check the injectors to make sure they are getting a signal, don't just check to see if the rail is getting fuel.

Pull the valve cover and check the timing chain.

Check the fuse box inside the car, that is 100% seriously the reason my hatch wouldn't start.

And go read my post in nissan tech, in your thread.
