Stalled Micra maybe distributor ?

[CMF_fprocyon]

Hello everybody, i have one problem, i have one micra k11 and now i am having some problems with this dream machine.
The problem is: After running 10 or 15 Km the machine stalls
completly, then i start again the engine and it runs for more 10 or 20 km by the end when i stop the car i smell some gasoline, this problem happens at low speed.
I think that the problem is related with the distributor, I am rigth ?
And how can i test the distributor ?

Best Regards

Carlos,

Before the car stops, does the car run normally??
Can you re-start the car immediately after it has stalled??
Not ruling out your distributor completely, but it may also be a fuel problem. Have a look at your fuel(gasoline) system to make sure there are no blockages. A faulty fuel pump may also give you similar problems.

Also it may be worth your time to read through this thread

Hi Carlos,

Not sure, but it's possible that this indicates a problem with the "crank angle sensor" in the distributor..

Another member encountered a similar problem ;

Many Thanks for the quick responses.
The car run normaly before it stops, and i can restart the car normaly after it has stalled.
When i start the car i sense the gasoline pump start normaly.
Today i changed the gasoline filter and the problem continues, but the distance that i run was greater than yesterday.
I was thinking in doing the throttle body re-soldering, maybe it solves the problem..

I forgot to say the car have 13 years and 145 000 Km.

Does portugal use ethanol blended fuels?

Your fuel pumps could be giving you trouble if you use ethanol blended fuel. Nissan don't recommend the use of ethanol blended fuels in the K11.
