1996 Nissan Maxima 6 cyl Manual 225, 00 miles

with no warnings of any kind my maxima 6cyl will not start. It cranks like it wants to but it doesnt. And now my batt is dead. When I would try to start it it would crank but neer start completel. After a few cranks maybe cuz the battery was dying, it would make this repeated cliking sound. I faintly remember it smell a funny smell too

Get the battery up to par and Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
