Sounds like your not getting any power to computer ,check harness connection.

So did you get it fixed?? If you did, what was the problem?? If you didn't, use the SEARCH function here on Zilvia & download a Factory Service Manual for your model year.

Use the FSM to verify that you are getting power to your Engine Control Unit. It's possible that the relay powering the ECU could have died. Or your Crank Angle Sensor is broken. Or you could have a bad ground wire above the Oxygen sensor. Nissan runs several ground wires to this connection point on your engine block, (Don't ask me how I learned this). Or you could be right...the distributor gave out...I doubt it...but it's possible.

Follow the troubleshooting guide in the FSM and you should be able to figure out what your problem is. If you can get your ECU working, then using the ECU to read your Diagnostic Trouble Codes...it should help you to figure out what your problem is.

Anyhow, hope this helps...
