Ok going to change my diagnostic slightly. just took it for a wee drive. it seems to stutter when the revs drop below 2000rpm and then the engine loses all power, power steering still works however. The engine doent properly cut out until about 5 seconds after losing all power then the usual...

its pre 2000. its s reg i think. Ill go down and go some more tests to give you more info. No they key feels exactly the same.

Ok our family micra has developed a fault last night. It just cuts out. I took it for a drive and it cut out after 100 yards it started over again with a little bit of throttle (and turning the key) and drove anouther 10 feet before dying again. Any ideas? it just cuts out dead. Dash...

I had a good look today and its now running and fireing up fine after changing the spark plugs. just not idling perfect yet but its not stalling anymore. ive found a random plug under the battery tray and wondered where iyts came from or what its for? Its green and black wires going into a...

ok so today I had a wee look before getting soaked by the rain. the engine is totally standard so I had a look in the airbox (the filter was removed after the incident as it was soaked so water definatly got into it. there was some moisture in the airbox but no puddles. I fired it up and it...

if you mean cylinders then it sounds like its just straight to 4.
