need some help i swapped the battery in my 240 today and for some reason afterwards it wouldnt start... checked for spark and I got nothing so I started at my wires on the battery, I checked the terminals on the little red plug thing and all of them have power, nothing changed except it wont spark out of the coil... no blown fuses tried putting in a new coil still nothing not sure whats going on, I am using an aftermarket msd blaster 2 coil but until today I havent had any issues with it, I tried putting another msd coil in and nothing still, tried an accel super stock and still nothing... any ideas?

I think you may have a igniter bad. Some coils don't have enough resistance and will cause the output transister in the module to overheat. I would check the module. Be sure to get a good quality module if its bad. Don't go to the "A" places. I would get a new nissan module or a used one before using one of the others. Check with MSD tech support about the coil to see if ok with nissan module or they may tell you to install a dropping resister on the coil.
