I have a Nissan Micra 1997 MkII engine 998cc turns over will not start? ?

Hi there everyone

I have had my Nissan Micra MkII for 3 years it has had regular oil change services etc about 1.5 years ago had a start up problem found problem by replacing distributor and fuel pump was working ok.

Recently the Nissan Micra turns over but will not start check for sound of fuel pump after ignition is engaged hear humm......check electrics with diagnostic tester for electrics 5 flashes on instrument panel indicates electrics ok.

Tested HT leads and spark plugs for sparking at the end of leads etc recharged battery over night to 14 volts etc distilled water level in battery ok.

any suggestions and help would be very much appreciated?...

Have you tried smelling the spark plugs for petrol to make sure fuel is getting into chamber, if that is ok and all the plugs are sparking then there seems to be a timing problem
