I got the TB & the Dizzy from a Brit firm down south called Motortronic in Essex on 10th Jan, they were very helpful as I didnt realise that the TB for an auto is different for a manual, so they corrected my order £167 free postage, The RAC lad had messed with TPS I only found out after finding...

Im Back !!! . after being put on my back for a few months with Covid Im going to have another go at sorting this Micra out, I will send off for a load of TB Gaskets as I know it will be coming off a few times with my luck. If I cant sort it out its up for grabs with a new dizzy complete with...

Ive down loaded it and printed it Thanks Maarten .. make life a bit easier..

Thanks Maarten, NDS takes a bit of working out for me at times.. much appreciated ..

Thanks Mate, I will let you know how I get on... just need a warmer day for these old bones ... lol

I will give it another try when we have a warmer day, Engine up to temp I assume, Im going to read back over my other post as I seem to recall you saying I should have some readings off the tps, cant recall what they were but can it be adjusted to get those readings, like I said Ive read so much...

I had a look at the old TB yesterday and noticed this little lot on the pictures, now the only person that was near there when it wouldnt fire up was the very young RAC Lad ???? I wonder what he thought, Ive re aligned the marks and Im going to take off the new TB and put this back on and see...

Ive fitted the new TB and it runs rough do I need to do the thing with the key and accelerator peddle or could it be the timing is way out as I mentioned before, it fired up first turn of the key idled faster than normal but when I pressed the peddle it ran rough.. any help would be great...

Ive just managed to get the Nissan Data Scan to work on my Laptop, It appears I had downloaded the drivers etc but not installed them. I thought the lead was faulty so ordered a Consult lead from Horsham Developments that works with NDS and ECUtalk, that was before I found out the drivers were...

Yes Frank, Ive just installed them to see if they help... well I think I have...
