No start issue

So the other day I got the SES/Tcs/slip light I scanned it and it came up as cylinder 1 misfire, So I replaced the coil all as well for a few days until yesterday got the same code again same problem WTF! So today I go to leave for work and I got a no start problem. I pulled the coil pack again all seems to be good, got spark I tested it and gas is getting to the engine Could smell it when I pulled the plug. I looked at ALL the damn fuses under the hood and the fuse panel inside. I'm at a loss here I have no clue on what the problem is. I got this car a year ago with 128k Its at 138k now, I don't know when the plugs were last changed. I'm picking up plugs tomorrow. Any Ideas that would cause a no start problem? Thanks guys!

That's the only code? My bet is that you've got no spark from any coil and new plugs won't help. Did you check fuses no. 58 and 59? Can you see even a weak spark from any coil? Do check all the coil connectors and harness, but have a look at the crankshaft pos. sensor (the one down by the front accessory drive pulley) and check the harness, the connector and the sensor for visible cracks/damage. Remove it, check it again for damage, clean the business end and reinstall.

Changed the plugs today and then I went to start it and the battery Died! And then when I was jumping the car the starter went to starter heaven! Would the starter cause this issue like try to to start but it wouldn't catch then just stop working? I really hope so because I did everything I could possibly do unless of course the timing chain like broke or something!

hi there. I have simmilar problem, just my maxima was starting very hard, i`ve had to crank it good few times for a long time before it started but one day my wife came back from work, shut it down and the next day it didn`t start at all, you could crank it and crank it for ages.I`ve had a same problem few months ago and in a nissan service they changed starter and catalic converters and it was fine for month before i`ve got that starting problem again.
to the point.
I ve got "multi misfire"code soo:
I `ve changed all plugs, checked all coils, changed camshaft and crankshaft sensors,checked all fuses and wairing, and nothing
still have irregular spark

Soo when it didnt helped I`ve started to check fuel line. and filters are fine and fuel pump is working but I`ve read in a service manual that there suppous to be 51Psi pressure of fuel and I dont think that fuel pump is giving that pressure.

Then I have two problems occured in one time, low fuel pressure and irregular spark.I`ve heard that starting motor is cousing load of haos in maximas so is there a chance that my one is not properly grounded or there is something wrong with it and its stelling power from coils and fuel pump??
