Thanx Greo :) Yes it was a dead dizzy. Micra is perfect after replacing. Thanks again.

Hi All, I had a little miss on my micra for few days. Recently I had to go out of the town for a personal matter and when I was returning, the car stalled suddenly. I tried starting again 20-30 mins time, but no luck :( Tried every possible ways, had to call a tow truck. - I was able to do a...

Hi guys, In some occasions, I still find it difficult to start and once I start, can see some black smoke going. Yesterday I did a sensor check and all the sensors were fine (5 long and 5 short flashes). I even cleaned the ICV. So what could be the problem?

Guys, I did a sensor check and got 5 long flashes and 5 short flashes. So I think the condition of the sensors are ok. But as my micra is getting difficult to start once the engine gets hot, I thought of cleaning the ICV as well..... the result was amazing... now it starts right on the first...

Thanx Frank & Mycra for your replies. Will keep you updated :)

Hi guys, Thanks for all your help. I will try and check the injectors. Please tell me where the coolant sensor is located, coz I'm bit new to mechanical items. Also how may I check whether the sensor is in good quality or not? Please advice me. I really appreciate your help.

Hi All, I have a strange issue with my micra. It starts perfectly the first time in the morning. But when the car gets heated up after running for few hours and when I start again, I need to hold the key for 5-6 seconds to get it started. And then bit of black smoke comes out from the silencer...

Thanks guys.... I really appreciate your support. One other problem I recently noticed (don't know whether it is relevant for the same issue). Every morning the car starts perfectly... but however when I take it to a ride and after the engine gets bit warm, the car does not start from the first...

Hi guys, Recently my car was not starting in the morning, but was able to start once I run few trips for the day... and again not starting the next morning. So I took it to an electrician and when we checked the voltage, it was going upto 14.7V (when I rev the car). He advised me that the...

Hi Terry, I also have 13" alloys + 185/65 sport tyres. I personally don't think that you should go for 15" alloys. A person from the wheel alignment shop told me that it is always better to go for the factory rim size (13") as other sizes could harm the functionality of lower-arms and shocks...

Also check whether the shock absorbers you replaced are in the correct measurements (you can ask from a spare parts supplier).
