18.5 hp Briggs and statton has fire and gas but wont start?

An engine requires gas and spark to fire but it also requires compression and timing. If it has gas and spark, I would check the compression...should be over 100 to run good. If it has good compression then I would check to see if the spark occurs when the compression does. If it doesn't then you probably have a sheared key on the flywheel.

What would cause your 89 Nissan Maxima not to start you have changed the fuel pump and the ECM?

The engine needs fuel, spark and compression to run. You are missing one of those. Do a compression test. If you have no compression you may have a timing chain related problem. If it passes, check the spark plugs, see if they are wet or dry. Dry would indicate no fuel, wet would indicate no spark.

You distributor cap and rotor should also be replaced. If still no spark. check the compression on the low cylinders to see if you have good compression.
