I don't think the odds are high for 3 T/B's to be broken.. Can the car rev if you soak the air filter in start-spray like i do in my video?

http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/k11-1-0-fuel-problems-tekkies-needed.59310/ Check out my thread, could be the same problem! I had Water in my fuel, because of rusty filler pipe! Can't stress this check enough!

I know right? I think the reason for it being able to drive after standing still for a moment, was because the water would flow down to the bottom of the fuel lines, and the fuel would take the waters place.

NO WONDER my car won't run properly when theres 4-5 liters of water (Or something other than petrol) in the tank.. First prime from fuel pump. A bit hard to see the to phases, but IRL it was VERY visible! I emptied as much as possible by using the fuel pump, and then fillede the whole...

Me too, really like the Micra design..

I have a date on tuesday with a mechanic friend of mine who has a donor k11 standing at his garage, we'll try some stuff out. Will come back with updates!

I drove it home with a makeshift ether spray intake, basically a hose connected to the intake running through the firewall into the cabin with a can of ether at the other end. Felt a bit like macgyver. I haven't checked anything else yet..

Is it hard to unbolt the rail with injectors?

Cool.. Next up is checking fuel lines!

NEWS: Throttle body was changed, no difference.. Is it true that, there runs a line of coolant through the throttle body?

Yes i will, and the junkyard is a 45 minute drive from my house.. So, it will first be around the evening i will post updates.

Yes but my friends garage is a 15 minute drive from my house, so i can't just do it.. I will buy new throttlebody no matter what, and will also check for leaks when i change it :)

Haven't checked for vacuum leaks, but the car runs smooth when Cold start is engaged.

True, but it it just wierds me out that it only happens when car is warm..

Hopefully.. When my car works again, i can show you my models trim!

I will probably buy a new TB from my friends wrecker connection, so very cheap. Im just waiting for him to pick up the donor car. If he does not i will take maf readings. Tps gave me 0,65 kohms in neutral position (Best calibration i could get).

I will buy throttle body from junkyard tomorrow, hoping thats it. When i get it running again i can do a show off thread, the paint is original, and really well preserved, sadly it has a small dent as you can see..

Yes it is a K11 :)

It's called "St. Ives" It has heated front seats, servo and MANUAL sunroof :)

I live in Denmark, we have the worlds most expensive cars, i paid 500 pounds for mine.. And its in pretty bad shape, it's a st. Ives model though, so it has heated seats and sunroof! Sad thing it isn't running..
