Hi all! I hope someone can point me in the right direction regarding a problem with my 2002 coilpack k11. The problem occurs only after the car has reached normal operating temperature. What happens is that the idle bounces/seesaws between about 500 rpm and 900rpm while coasting to a stop...

Note that all match marks on all chains and sprockets need to line up correctly for the engine to run properly.

Crank and cam timing look complex but are pretty easy really. Go here http://www.micra.com.au/technical-articles/nissan-timing-chain-procedure.php and follow the procedure.

What exactly is the problem you are having?

Here the first pics....the surround needs to be cut back and will be fitted later. The only problem is that the indicators are very slightly hidden behind the speedometer housing but i can live with that :-)

I'll post up some pics once everything is correctly installed.

It's really easy to be honest. You put the gauge in set mode and drive the exact distance of 1km or 1mi (depending on the units you want). During this drive the gauge counts the number of pulses received from the vss. After covering the distance you stop the set mode. The gauge now knows how...

Ok...got it sorted! Pin 18 (blue/yellow) is correct. The problem was the calibration of the drift gauges which is a bit different to others. Instead of being calibrated to a particular speed they are calibrated to a set distance (1km or 1mi). I originally thought that was only for the odometer...

Been there, tried that :-) Their customer service/support is atrocious at best. All methods of contact failed miserably; presumably due to the fact they have been bought and sold more than once since starting business.

Ok..so tapped pin 16..still no luck. The speedo only displays 0 kmh or sometimes (no particular event) a 1kmh...... I think I'll try and grab all connections from the ecu :-/ hope it works.

That is correct but i think pin 16 at the instrument panel sends a cleaned vss signal to the ecu..?

Ok...so I've researched further. I'm sure you've all heard of the apexi RSM.....? Anyhow...this gizmo has a wiring diagram for the nissan march which tells me to splice the wires for vss, ground and 12v directly at the ecu. As this is a universal gadget also used in mr2 I'm certain the vss...

Hmmm even though the signal is strong enough for the stock speedo?

Ahh ok, that is valuable info. But the pulse to the ecu must have a certain strength or not? Btw. this is a 2002 model with cop.

Hi and thanks for the reply :-) I thought the sensor in the transmission already supplied an appropriate pulse...maybe the tach itself even provides a pulse? I know my mr2 does this.
