87 nissan 200sx se v6. While making a turn I downed shift to forth gear and the car just die. I tried push starting it but it won't start. Seems like there was no gas going to the engine. I checked the fuse but they seem to be okay. I don't have any manual so I couldn't find the feul pump relay but I think theres no fuel pump relay on this model, just fuel pump switch. All the relays are scatter out, their not in one big box together. I replaced the fuel pump but that wasn't the problem either. I took out the coil spark plug wire and tested the spark. There was no spark going to the distributor. So, I replaced the ignition coil and it still didn't start. Theres like a ignition coil housing that is hook up from the wire harness to the housing to the ignition coil, I think that's the problem but I don't want to make another mistake replacing something I don't need to. It's either that or the wire harness itself is mess up. OH, and I also checked the ecu and it's fine too. Any suggestion.?

Use a test light , one side of the coil terminals should flash when engine is cranked, if not it is probably the crank angle sensor not seeing the engine turning
