2005 Nissan Maxima No spark
 

So my 05 Maxima isn't getting any spark. before this issue arose I was driving around after a fresh oil change and a full tank of gas. It snows here so I ended up getting stuck into a ditch. The driver's side was on the flat road while the passenger side was stuck in about a foot in a half of snow. Trying to get out I kept shifting into drive/reverse which then got me into a spot where the car would no longer move. The car was still running but then it started to bog down and eventually die. I tried to start it and all it would do was just crank. Eventually that led to the battery now dying etc.

I did a few tests myself. got some starter fluid to eliminate if it was a fuel issue. It still didn't start. Pulled a plug and tested if I was getting a spark which it's not. I'm going to take a better look at the camshaft sensors etc but I'm just not sure what's going on. Does anybody have any other things i could check? I have an appointment with a shop but that's not until December 19th

If you have a scanner with live data, might be worth seeing if it's getting RPM when being turned over

it's at a shop now. just figure did leave it up to them since they got better equipment than I do. Once they tell me whats wrong ill fix it myself

Sometimes it's the easiest lol lmk what it is im curious, im guessing crank/cam sensor issue

From the mechanics notes. Basically they are gathering that it skipped time. Each can shaft was at 127 degrees advanced.

compression was 25lbs less in bank 2 vs bank 1

they also checked valves and bank 1 coils. They seen some damage on cylinder 1 and 3 due to valve clearance issue.

at this point I’m marking it off as a loss. I was going to possibly have the do a timing chain job as I know it needed it. But they said it wouldent be worth it. And that might not even really fix the issues. Maybe I’ll call around.
