ok man im going to tell you like it is,i once had a SINGLE CAM. the worst motor nissan ever made but still derserves respect becasuse it can still make power! but i had leaky injecters, and cracked fuel rail, i replaced these along with the destributor cap and rotor and the battery but it still did not start. but this was the solution( also if your battery light is on that indicates that you have a badd battery or alternator) but: this is how i soulved it

i took my car to a shop and had the batterey tested, it came up 14V. which is norman, that mean the only thing left was hte ALTERNATOR to be changed, the alternator in a car holds the battery charget to supply sufficient power to the spart plugs, which causes the spark, with not enough charge from the alternator you might have miss-fire or you may not getting any fire with a few opf your spark plugs. basically if you have 2 sparking plugs and 2 duds then your car might backfire or DIE OUT. try this, i might be able to give you an alternator, so you can test this adn find the solution!
