I have a 1986 non turbo Nissan 300zx Awhile ago, while i was driving home. My car started to over heat, then blew a water hose and water got everywhere. My father and I have replace all water hose's , altnertor , coil, starter, the fuse's , relays, fuel pump and lines, and the computer. It cranks but won't fire to start.? What else can be stoping it from doing that? Also on note, i'm not getting any power to the coil .

Did you find a solution?
It is obvious that you were throwing parts at the car in hopes of finding a solution to your problem. From your description, I would guess that you blew the top or bottom radiator hose. (more likely the top one) It's hard to beleive from yor description that you lost power to the coil. I have taken 300Z'S to the car wash when the engine's were nasty enough that I n is wat It goes rignition input signals also come from the distributor. It doesn't mean go out and buy one, dry that one out. No disrespect intended, but sometimes people using volt meters or digital volt meters may get confused on where to set the control dial or put the leads. they may have it set for AC instead of DC power readings or on amps, have weak batteries in their test meter. If they are using a test light, are they getting a good ground? A blown coolant hose wouldn't cause the parts you have replaced to fail. I'm betting on a wet distributor cap. Get a can of WD-40 take the cap off and look for moisture. Also the ignition module on most are located right near the coil. Although I have never seen a wet module connector cause a no start, anything is possible. WD-40 to the rescue. It displaces moisture. In terms of your distributor cap. just spray some WD-40 into the top of of the cap, a little in the distrbito, if it starts, get the disteibutor dried out. you can buy cans of compressed air for cleaning computers which may do the trick. Good .luck.
