Hi everyone,
This is my first post since becoming a member but I’ve been a Micra owner for close to 13 years now and thought now is a good a time as any to join the forum and see if I can help any fellow owners out there.
I own a 2000 Micra K11 facelift and noticed that a few people are having a few problems with the idle on the Bosch type throttle body.
The best tip I can give before you start to change the sensors is to check that the accelerator cable is well lubricated and that the adjustment nut near the throttle body has some slack in it. If it is tight, the butterfly valve can’t fully close which results in over or under revving when at idle as the sensors try to compensate. Even a small adjustment can make a big difference.
