Hey no worries.. I was just pleased to get any ideas from members that was worth trying. Glad you got your car sorted and I will give what you say a try once the rain stops lol. Tbh it does feel like the timing is out so ya never know.. Thanks for updating the post anyway, just hope it gets...

well had no luck finding a different throttle body to try but the car has got a little better. It is still low powered but has picked up slightly, I did notice that the new plugs are very black already so it must be running really rich. I have finally ordered a haynes lol so will have a read...

Could I have serious engine trouble here or could it be head gasket or something ?.

not a big difference with the maf disconnected maybe little worse.. I took of the leads 1by 1 while on tickover and on number 3 there is no difference with or without lead also it is the only plug that is not black (rest are covered..very rich) if anything it looks like it's done nowt.All plugs...

ok cheers, will go try that out.(Y)

no mate, should it make much difference ? im outta my depth really but cant afford garage bills. Sorry this post has turned into a essay

anyone any ideas please lads.. could do with sortin this lack of power. Any thoughts or info welcome :laugh: only just managed to get it on ramps.. no power in the thing

Yep solder fix done, is it a case of changing the cat or is there a way to check em.

Hi Frank, it's real sluggish mate very low power and takes a while to get upto 40 ect bit dodgey at some junctions when ye wanna get out sharpish. It did have a problem on lead 3 so I changed all the leads and put new plugs in but it's still the same. It's drivin me nuts now but at least its...

Hi Lads, had guests over from ireland so not had chance to get online much, anyway I changed the plugs and leads yesterday and it is still running really rough. It feels like it needs something to go bang and clear itself :laugh: if that makes sense.. I also bought a new rotor so will fit that...

Been using the micra for a couple of days now and it aint died once, BUT even after playing with the timing again it is very sluggish.. mainly 1st n 2nd but does struggle to get over 45 - 50mph lol. Just wondered if this could be the ecu change and it still remembering settings etc or have I...

Well I think I may be getting somewhere at last, did the timing again just as described above.. and have been out today and clocked up a few miles. Not had any problems with it dying or anything so, so far so good. It is still a little "slow" in 1st n 2nd but once it reaches 40 ish it seems to...

Must admit I was losing the plot with it today, feel so close now to having it sorted but just cant seem to get it running right. It has not died on me for a couple of days now but that only covers around 15 - 20 mile all in. Had a few goes at timing it up and no change.. real rough and lacking...

Cheers frank, one last question (honest) can I lower the idle on this like I can on my auld fez ?do they have a screw to adjust or are they all sealed. I have a haynes on the way at last so at least I wont have to keep asking silly questions:laugh: Will get it tickin over as low as I can and...

hmm not so easy then eh. well just did it again with the tps unplugged but im timing it up when the car is just ticking over, how you spose to get it right if ye aint got a rev gauge then
