Hi all
Bear with me on describing the issue - I wanted to give as full a picture as possible!
This is my first venture into owning a Micra, I purchased her to commute to the local station and back and until recently she's been pretty reliable.
Over the last few weeks a problem started to appear which has now rendered the car unreliable and a complete pain!
Initially the symptoms were 'kangaroo-juice' which I put down to a 25 year old fuel tank but now we have the following list:
To combat this I have done the following:
Cleaning the Carb seemd to resolve the issue briefly but I was back to square one at the side of the road this morning.
My next plan was to put a fuel additive into a fresh tank of fuel and when half empty, replace the fuel filter again. I've got theories that include the Fuel Pump and Auto-Choke but I'm no mechanic
Apart from that I'm stuck and would greatly appreciated the forums knowledge on this one!
Thanks in advance
Chris

Initially the symptoms were 'kangaroo-juice' which I put down to a 25 year old fuel tank but now we have the following list:
- Rough Idling
- Stalling
- Complete loss of power (stall) when putting foot on gas
- Engine fires up, revs once then dies
To combat this I have done the following:
- New Fuel Filter
- New Rotor Arm
- New Dist Cap
- Had electrics confirmed good by Recovery
- Took top of Carb off and thoroughly cleaned (made new gasket)
- Replaced vacuum hose attachments to Carb and Airbox
- Increased idle speed
