I guess there's no problem then. I too havent heard of anyone damaging something by doing it that way. But whats the alternative, whats the "proper" a spark without equipment? Anyway, I guess now I am looking at replacing the power transistor or the ECU? What would you guys replace first, as...

OK, here's an update (in case anyone was interested, or will be in the future). I finally got replacement dizy (had to wait for it to come from Germany, used parts are that expensive around here). And no, it does not fire! That was not the problem... (unless the used one is broken too). BTW...

So, finally got the distributor body out. Does anybody know whats the proper voltage for the red/black wire (internal LED?) ? Is it 5V, 12V, 2.3V ? Thank's!

Yep, that goes without saying! :D I hope I can find a way to mark a dirty old engine...:rolleyes:

That's a great idea! I am tempted to go do it now! Any tips on removing it (and correctly putting it back)? I have given my Haynes manual to a friend that needed it. Also, is the supply voltage for the sensor +5V? (any idea about wire colors?) ?

Yeah, I think the type you're referring to is this on... http://www.partsbase.org/nissan/micra-k10-eu-5hb-ma12s-l-dx-f5-w-cat-engine-electrical-distributor-p-1/ But whatever the type of the distributor, it'll be the next thing to be checked...

Am pretty sure the first diagram is from a K10 Thats the link http://www.partsbase.org/nissan/micra-k10-eu-3hb-ma12s-l-dx-f5-l-cat-engine-electrical-distributor-p-2/ My distributor has no vacuum advance diaphragm thingy in the side of it...

Hello frank, thanks for the reply... The distributor on the car is this one => ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Add it looks like this one => For what I read, in the late models, there is an optical rotary encoder...

Hello everybody, Its my first post here, so take it slow with me... :) Also please excuse any grammar or syntax mistakes (google takes care of spelling), English is not my mother language... so... Now, to explain my problem, and I hope some of you Micra semigods will find the time and "bless"...
