Isn't the bluetooth android version available anymore, somewhere? It would be better than using a laptop.

Yes but that's a big IF. Manufacturers don't make parts forever also because the vast majority of people don't want to keep their cars forever and some of the few that wanted to keep them, don't do it because of the lack of parts. So, just the DIY people or those who has a friend at the old...

One major threat to the survival of any car is having no available parts. When I bought the car, I knew that it needed the water tank to feed the cooling system as it had a hole on it, as all the others I looked for in the scrapyards. I thought that I could get one in new condition at the...

I marked the pulley with a new TDC 0 when the piston was actually on top and the dizzy rotor pointing to cylinder #1 and then used the existing marks to see the difference between them and get a new TDC 15 BTDC. Strobe and dizzy rotation and I guess it's fine for a temporary "healing". I will...

In the mean time, I was thinking about making temporary marks on the pulley to be able to set timing to make a few miles. Is it ok if I can do it right?

I found that the markings on the pulley are not right. I checked the piston 1 TDC through the spark plug hole. It's TDC position is something like 25-30 BTDC on the pulley. When pulley shows TDC 0, the piston is already way down. Is possible that in the past someone replaced the pulley and put...

Ok, thanks. I found ECUtalk too. I'll get a reader and try then. But using the software to lock the timing is the same as disconnecting the TPS procedure, right? And when software is reading the timing, is it reading some sensor directly from the crank or something or ECU? Because I read...

I looked for software but I guess conzult (which was free, I guess) is not available anymore. Which ones are recommended? Anyway, is it not possible to see if something is wrong with the chain just by looking at the timing marks and the rotor arm position? The car sounds almost normal, idles...

Hi all, Micra fans I recently bought a 2000 Micra 1.3 with no maintenance history, unfortunately, and already changed and restored some stuff when time allows it. To make a long story short, because of what I think was a misfire at low rpm when starting to move the car, I changed the spark...
