As long as your getting power at the black/red wire at the coil (battery power when the key is swtched to the on/run position, I would check the ignition control module. I think Nissan calls it a power transistor. In any case it is mounted on a bracket attached to the air filter housing (see picture below). the bottom picture is a picture of the connector/plug at the module. Using an ohm meter check terminal A & B on the module. If you any resistance at all the module is good. If you get 0 ohms then it is bad of course. Those units are about 100 dollars and it sounds as if you are spending money on parts that aren\'t needed. Nissan is pretty good about testing procedures on thier elctrical componants so I would suggest diagnosing completely and then repair once and for all. If you find this unit is good and you need more testing procedures you can reply/comment here and I\'ll do my best to help figure this puzzle out. Hope this helps.......

Will not crank

Tps has nothing to do with sparks. If you had sparks going to the distrubuter but none coming out, the cap or rotor is not installed correctly.

No fire thru coil wire

no,the pump wouldn't do that. Pull the dist cap and crank the engine,make sure the rotor spins,may have sheared the pin one the shaft.

Truck wont crank. we have put new distributor cap, rotor button, coil pack, plugs, wires, and fuel pump. we also checked our firing order.

you said you repl dist cap that means you don't have a crank sensor you have electronic ing module. remove your elec ing module have it tested most auto parts stores could test your module, or check your coil at the neg terminal. should have power. if not you lost your primary volt from your batt.your secondary power is coming from your electronic ing module from the module to the pos terminal on the coil, when the eng cranks,from the coil to the dist cap , from the dist cap center to the rotor then out to the plugs,this all happen pervided the timing belt or timing chain is ok. the cumbustion chainber needs 3 things , thats fuel, air, and spark.
