Wrong section, but It's gonna be the main fuse in the engine bay or the battery.

Bets on the fuse.

Section list is down on the right side a bit.

Also, the Pathfinder has an unfortunate problem with the 4WD function sometimes...

SOme people have had the fuse blow when they engage the 4WD because of something to do with that system. It's a btich, and then probably time to ditch the car.

Just saying, it may not be your issue, but be prepared.

so yeah, crank angle sensor could cut your spark. There is probably a check you could do to test if its good or bad... Some Pathfinder natives should be in here soon. Or you could do a NICO search to see if anything comes up for that, as well as no spark...
