I have a Nissan x trail that just cut out and now there is no spark at the plugs, ive had it on a Nissan diagnostic machine they changed the accelerator camshaft and crankshaft sensors and that cleared all faults but still no spark checked the timing which was off so changed the timing chain and tensioners. still no spark there is also no signal at the fuel pump but i have checked it is working

There is a ECM relay that goes out as well on the this car. Here is a guide and some diagrams to help you confirm the problem.

If vehicle is equipped wit immobilizer, have it checked. If the transponder is not communicating, the starter would be able to crank but engine would not fire up. If you have a spare key, use it to test.

If not equipped with immobilizer, recheck the crankshaft position sensor. Remove it and check the reluctor for damage. Test wire for continuity between the ignition coil and ECM.

I was thinking the immobilizer but not sure if anythin i can do to check it or if i would have to get someone out to do it, when you turn key in ignition the led of dash flashes then goes on steady

The light should go off. That means it is not responding to the immobilizer. A correct scan tool should be able to check it out. As I mentioned, if you have a spare key, try it.

scan for codes and check crank sensor fuel pressure should be 51 psi.

Did you check for trouble codes?
Check the crank position sensor.

try resetting your security system if no manual check online. also check fuses under hood.
