Take the valve cover off of one bank of cylinders, have someone turn the engine over, and watch to see if the cam is turning. If not, the timing chain or belt is broken.

How can you tell if your Nissan altima timing chain is broken?
One way to tell if the timing chain is broken on your Nissan Altima is to see if it will start. If it starts, it is not the timing chain. You can also remove the distributor cap, have someone step on the gas while you watch the engine. If the rotor moves, it is not the timing chain.

Timing chains rotate, much like that of a bicycle. It would make a loud clanking sound. Now it may have "jumped" off its position or may be worn out. or get a compression test,plus you'll know the car won't start likely it's the timing chain causing it.
