Remove the distributor cap and check if the rotor is turning, you could have a broken timing belt, which is somewhat common on this engine.

Verify spark to the plugs. Verify proper fuel pressure. Verify proper engine compression. Verify the fuel injectors are "firing" using a noid light. Since you say it won't start on starter fluid, it would suggest either a no spark or no compression issue.

Default Distributor?

We had problem with very rough idle and running really bad and it ended up being the distributor. Had dealership replace with remanufactured (22100-1W601RE) and 2 hours of labor for just under $400. We have 1998 pathfinder.

May not be problem though. We were getting P300 Engine code.
