Default sentra 96 gxe no fire

im having problems with no fire in my sentra. i had to do the timing new. it is in time. ive got great compresion. when we got the car back together, no fire from the distributor. ive replaced the distributor, ecm, knock sensor, cam sensor, and still no fire. my air bag blinks, but its run for about five years fine like that. i am running out of ideas. all wires are hooked up and in the right places. can you give me some more places to look? ga16de or 15 motor. i cant remember right this second.

that would be just too easy! :) batt is good, motor sounds great cranking over. i have power going into the distributor, just not coming out. all three that i have do the same thing. all my grounds are hooked up, ive unplugged all connections and cleaned them. car has 150 k on it. ive had code 21 come up on both ecms. i got another one just in case. the air bag light gets me to wonder if it has something to do with it. like i said before, its been doing it for 5 years. what all can keep the distributor from firing? i have a haynes manual, it dosent help a whole lot. any better schematics for the electrical? i appreciate all your help! thanks. just shoot ideas my way!

Check for oil within the distributor. And if it ran ok prior to the work being done it stands to reason it should now.Double check all your grounds.Code 21 is intake valve timing control by the book i have.You can look up what you need within this web site under service manuals.
