Tested to see if any spark from the spark plug wires theres none, tested the coil theres none. Tested the coils resistance an its perfect. Any ideas? It was running fine an then when I went to start it nothing.

you need to check for power and ground to your coil.

I had a mechanic come look at my car, an I wasnt getting any spark or the fuel pump wasnt pumping. All the fuses are fine an Im getting the correct voltage to where it needs to be. He said he has no idea what it could be, he said it might be my ecu.

ECU rarely fail on Nissan unless they get shorted [injector] sensors.

Why would you be taking the car to a Mechanic when a Technican is what you need? Most failures are not mechanical but electrical.
