Asked by Jeff Jul 23, 2020 at 09:56 AM about the 2004 Nissan Frontier 2 Dr XE 4WD Extended Cab SB

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2004 V6 Frontier. It will not start. It has new spark plugs, plug wires,
upstream O2 sensors, fuel pump, and fuel filter. It has 150 psi compression.
Distributor is in time. I have injector pulse. It has good spark. It will not start
even on starting fluid. Where should I go from here?

Timing is right on. If it had jumper a tooth it would still start but run poorly.

I replace the distributor and the truck started right up. I'm not sure how I had spark and injector pulse, but it still wouldn't start. If someone could explain the to me I'd love to hear it.
