Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / June 20051993 Altima won't fire
I have a 1993 Altima won't fire have swapped the distributor, distributor cap, rotor button, computer, and coil from a working altima still no spark. Anybody have any ideas what may cause this problem. Jim remove distributor cap, and check if the rotor turn when you try to start the car? If no, the timing belt could be broken. >remove distributor cap, and check if the rotor turn when you try to start >the car? >If no, the timing belt could be broken. Rotor does turn timing chain in on. Jim is the altima an interference engine? >remove distributor cap, and check if the rotor turn when you try to start >the car? >If no, the timing belt could be broken. yes > is the altima an interference engine? > > >remove distributor cap, and check if the rotor turn when you try to start > >the car? > >If no, the timing belt could be broken. >I have a 1993 Altima won't fire have swapped the distributor, >distributor cap, rotor button, computer, and coil from a working >altima still no spark.

Jim From my Haynes manual (so it may be totally wrong): Code 21 : Ignition Signal The ignition signal in the primary circuit is not entered during engine cranking or running (see a dealer service department) > >I have a 1993 Altima won't fire have swapped the distributor, > >distributor cap, rotor button, computer, and coil from a working [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Jim So the dealer is my only option?

Lots of troubleshooting steps and more detail than the haynes manual. Need to determine if you have a fuel delivery problem or ignition system problem. Do you have good fuel pressure? Is the timing correct, may have a slip timing belt? Are you getting spark at plugs? No problem witj fuel delivery. Timing chain is good and timing is correct. I am getting not spark.

Judging by the error code it sounds like the ECU isn't getting the cam sensor signal, or it is, but for some reason can't generate the signal to the coil.. I'd test the wiring to the distributor and coil if you haven't already done that... can you swap the ecu from that other altima too? > No problem witj fuel delivery.

Swapped the ECU from a working Altima. Checked the wiring everything seems ok with teh wiring.
