I have an '87 Nissan Stanza that won't start. It trys to turn over but it won't. I have replaced the distributor, spark plugs, rotor and cap but that's not it. So, now I need help. The car is getting gas and air but no spark. What the hell could it be now????????

Check the plug wires??

Check the starter it might not be giving enough voltage to start the engine

I'm not pro here, but I've herd that if the starter don't turn the engine over fast enough that it wont let some kind of sensor send spark to the plugs. I'm not sure about this but its an idea. Make sure your battery is strong and your starter is not dragging too badly.

on the older cars a low battery doesnt give the plugs enough power to spark.
