    Nissan March K11 1.3 spares/repair

    Sorry guys but I'm keen to move the whole car as I need it gone fairly soon. I haven't got space and time to break it myself.

    Nissan March K11 1.3 spares/repair

    Any Micra fans out there wanting March bits: here's your chance! Here we have my trusty 1995 Nissan March 1.3 available for spares or repair. She has been a brilliant budget car, but needs TLC for another MOT including welding and a set of tyres. She also has an intermittent engine problem...

    Warming up hesitation - choke?

    Hey Jay101 - another Devonian! Thanks for the suggestion, but I resoldered the TB when I bought the car as "faulty" and fixed it. I also did it again when this problem first started and it made no difference. When it misbehaves it will drop to tickover without stalling, but wants to die as soon...

    Warming up hesitation - choke?

    I realise this may result in a rich mixture and high tickover - sounds like the symptoms already present! "choke" - So.... do you mean there is no physical choke mechanism - it's all controlled by the ECU? What's the advantage of your parallel set up?

    Warming up hesitation - choke?

    Hey all I posted about this months ago with no luck, and have just lived with the problem up to now. But it's been getting worse recently, and I'm stumped. March 1.3. Starts and runs fine. After about 3 miles, while she is neither warm (thermostat open) nor completely cold, she starts to...

    Card with Gaffer still working fine. Would recommend it.

    K11 choke fault?

    Hey all. My trusty rusty March needs attention, but I can't find the problem. She starts from cold and runs perfectly for 5 -6 min, then develops a hesitation on the throttle. Enough that from tickover, she will stall unless you are very gentle and allow for the coughing. Usually the idle...

    Blower resistor card fix

    Ok, maybe you all have a point about the gaffer, perhaps I should take it off again. Is it definitely in cool air flow, not heated? Incidentally, the strips on the micra card I bought take a much more complicated route around the card than my march one, although the blob is in the same place...

    Blower resistor card fix

    And another thing... I finally got fed up with having all or nothing on the heater blower, after living with it all winter. So I bid on one on ebay, and then found a guide to fix mine. It is a REALLY easy fix - 15 mins at most. The card just contains 4 strips of metal to conduct the...

    Central locking gone nuts.

    Ok, thanks a lot, I'll have a look down there.

    Central locking gone nuts.

    Hi all Gonna use you guys as a resource again, in the absence of a workshop manual! The central locking on my March 1.3 is going nuts, it locks and unlocks at random while I'm driving and when I shut the drivers door. If I park and lock it, it stays locked (luckily). Can anyone tell me...

    Rev limit at 3100 rpm

    Sorted! It was the throttle body. This time I took it off, put in on the bench and went at it carefully. Just to be clear, it is the three joints connecting the board to the plug that needed doing. (Last time I mistakenly did the three on the board itself.) As soon as I opened it I could see...

    Lights Dimming while Braking?

    Hi Lights dimming (or coming on dimly) with brake lights is usually an earth fault. I'd go over earthing points, and clean the rear light connectors and circuit boards. Your battery will be fine unless you have starting problems. Try putting on all the lights, fan, and other electrical items...

    Rev limit at 3100 rpm

    Ok some progress. I had it out for a longish drive yesterday, and when the fault kicked in I pulled up, revved the engine and wiggled cables and plugs. Hey presto - the fault lies with the throttle body. If I wobble the plug (from Mass meter) the car will either stall or rev correctly. It...

    Rev limit at 3100 rpm

    Ah, I see. Of course.. Thanks (Y)

    Rev limit at 3100 rpm

    Hi Frank yeah, got the rotor arm off. Is that plastic cover just a push fit? I don't want to lever it off. SNAP!

    Rev limit at 3100 rpm

    Hi My March 1.3 has a strange fault. Starts and runs fine, but once properly warm (after 15 miles or so) it wont rev past 3100 rpm. It behaves just as though the rev limiter has kicked in. It doesn't do it all the time, just sometimes for a few minutes, and then clears again. While this is...
