Hi Woody, Mine is a 1.6 petrol. As the engine heats up the sensors should change the fuel/air mixture to suit the engine temperature and the throttle position etc. The MAP sensors, for example, has a variable resistance inside it, as the engine heats up the resistance drops so the signal to...

Hi Woody, I believe that makes it the MK2 so I would ignore the throttle body for now. I agree that the problem is one of fuel starvation but that can be due to the engine sensors reading wrong. The trouble is which one or more than one! So I am back to advising changing the lambda sensors...

Hi Woody, Is that the MK1 or Mk2? The MK1 had a problem with the throttle body, the MK2 much less so but it is an expensive part to replace even with a recon unit so save that until last. The biggest problem with today's cars is the computerised management system which like windows does not...

Hi Woody, Have you managed to get a fault diagnosis code, that could be a help in identifying the problem? Your local garage can do this for you or you could buy a tester which would then allow you to save money in the future. They are available at around £30. Without that code, it is...

Hi Matt, Thanks for the reply. The K12 throttle bodies are different but I do have a reconditioned one being fitted on Wednesday, hopefully, that will cure the problem. Yes, the fault was cleared but it may have come back, I'm not sure as yet but I have a reader due tomorrow or the garage can...

Hi, My Micra K12 1.4cc 2005-2006 keeps indicating a P0113 fault which appears to be overvoltage from the IAT. I have changed the sensor but still, get the error message. The voltage to the unit is correct at 5v but the resistance reading at an air temperature of 17 degrees C is 0.6 ohms which...

Hi Chris, Thanks very much for the file, most useful! Martin

Hi Chris, Could you tell me where to get the service manual that you have for the K12, please? I can only get a Haynes manual which is OK but not comprehensive in that it doesn't have the engine management wiring diagrams.8-(( Martin

Hi, Just a quick question regarding my K12 MAF sensor. I see from the Haynes manual that pin 2 should be at 5v but which is pin 2, please? Can anyone tell me the pin numbers on the MAF connector, please? Also which wires do what? Martin

Hi Michael, Well done! That's a fix that isn't in the book!!! Martin

Hi Chris, Thanks very much for the reply. I only have the Haynes manual, unfortunately. The MAP sensor has just been changed but the car still loses acceleration when it has warmed up, up to the point when it will not idle properly and requires a heavy right foot kick down to get some revs...

Hi, From the Haynes manual for the Micra 2003 - 2010 it tells me that the torque for the inlet manifold nuts/bolts is 6 lb/ft. There is a note that the centre bolt is the start and finish bolt, it is effectively tightened twice. Could it be that you need to re-train the throttle after working...

Hi, Just a quick question about an error code on a Micra K12 2005-2006. I get error code P0113, that shows as a problem with the Air Intake Temperature Sensor. Where do I find that sensor on this vehicle, is it the throttle body as I cannot seem to find any reference to it as a separate unit...

Hi Immy, I suspect that is was just a fancy reader.:confused: I agree live data would be much more likely to find the problem. Martin

Hi Chriscross, Thanks for the reply. Martin
