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

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.
