hello All,I'm new here with a bit confused and I wish from anyone to help-
I bought a nissan Micra Muzic 1996 1L ,the last owner took out the EML(engine management light bulb and the petrol bulb out from the dash board)-when I did put it back it start flashes-the engine sometimes cut after 5-6 seconds and not work again, I found out that when it start and cut after 5-6 second I put the gear on the first speed and I move the car (withen this time) the EML will stop flashes,if I do not do that the engine will not work-Any help will be appreciated

Well since your car is a 1996, I guess it'll be facing the front of the car.
It should be a "black box" with a connector, mounted on the throttlebody.

Just unplug it, and start the car.
If it runs like before, then you know whats up.

the idle control valve wont affect the starting mo, and running for a few secs then cutting out usually points to a fuel problem (pump, injector fuse or nats)
and could the flashing light be the nats light ?

Hello frank-thank you for your replay,well lets think togather,,
there is sound from the fuel pump when the I'll start the engine-so that is OK,,injector are you could say ok as well because it will start -oh where is the injector fuse-back again in it is the fuse why she will start after disconecting the battry?if there is a fuse problem?
Maybe it is NATS then
I did red some where "Connect terminals 6 and 7 together for 2 seconds then disconnect them again". it will give error code
but mine did not flashes-what I did red was NATS problem engine want flash a fault code.
What do you think my friend
thank you

i dont think there,s an error code for the nats mo (i,ve seen 142 and 143 posted as a nats code but there are supposed to be only 2 figure codes on our obd1)
you could try a faultcode check eh, (how-to on here or msc somewhere)

I did change the fuse box all togather(the one of the injecters fuse holder was broken-and the LH light fuse was melted) and still the EMLight is in disco mode-first when I start the engine I put the swithch on-on position for more than 3 second it will start flashes-then it will not fire the engine,, I took out the key and change the position of the switch it will fire ok the EMLight will sometimes disappear
now the EMLight come all the time but the car is starting ok-and that thing is still in the Disco mode
any idea?
Thanks
