2000 sentra won't start. Cranks fine plenty of power there. I have replaced distributor, crank position sensor, plugs, ecu, and ruled out timing chain, fuel pump, relays, fuses. This car is really pissing me off. I have NO voltage to the distributor at all, however when I bridge a wire from the positive side of the fuse box to the distibutor coil harness I am able to get the thing started (runs crappy but starts - nothing that's really road worthy though) HELP! What else could it be??

Replace the ignition switch. This link may help:

Thanks but I don't believe it's the ignition switch since I am able to get the car cranking. I am pulling codes p1320 and p0505...

. P0505 - IAC-AAC Valve

. P1320 - Ignition Signal. Likely coil related problem. Check the ECCS wiring harness for a broken or damaged wire. If the ECCS harness has a broken or damaged wire that is causing the problem, repair the harness and verify the incident is resolved. If the ECCS harness does not have a broken or damaged wire and isn't causing the problem, replace ignition coil(s).
