Hi, I have the same problem with my micra, a 2001 1.4. I turn the key to start the car, but it does nothing, almost as if the battery is flat. i just hear what sound like some clicks from behind the facia to the right of the steering wheel. I suspect a relay, as when i turn the key again...

Hi, Jay85. Having cleared the error code, I have driven the car since and it has performed very well, and the light hasn't come on again. Without disturbing anything, on Saturday, I had a good look around the engine bay, examining the throttle body connections and the exhaust. Couldn't...

thanks for that. I'll have a close look at these tomorrow, see if I can get to the root of the cause.

Any poiinters on this one will be much appreciated, thanks. Ok, so last week I fitted a new Bosch throttle body to my Micra 1.4, 2001 reg, and it's now running very nicely. It has a nice low tickover in place of the previous high and erratic one. But a day or so after fitting the new throttle...

Well, after suffering for weeks with a problem tickover, I'm happy to be able to report that it's finally cured. Ordered a remanufactured Bosch throttle body from www.bba-reman.com on an exchange basis at £284.00 and fitted it myself this evening. My Micra is now runing better than ever, and...

Thanks for all your input on this. Just been to my local Nissan dealer in Abergele today, where they tested the car to find the fault. From what they said they found no fault codes on computer, but said that the most probable cause of idle speed problem is the throttle body, which they have...

Well, I couldn't find anything, and that was after a lot of studying and seraching. So, took micra to Nationwide Autocentre for diagnostic check. £27.50 later, they couldn't find a fault, but also couldn't fix the fault. Narrowed it down to a possible fault with the engine temp sensor, which...

Thanks for all your replies. I'm going to have a good look around the throttle body this weekend to see if I can locate the problem. I will look for the idle screw if there. I think the body is a Bosch model, will confirm that on Saturday. Am hoping my Haynes manual arrives today. I will...

Hi to everyone, and thanks for making this wonderful website available to micra drivers out here. It's great that there is a place like this to find solutions to problems. I've just bought a 1.4 activ 2001 reg. The car is great in every respect apart from one - when it is at running temp the...
