Wierd ECU style box under drivers seat

[Charlotte001]

Under my drivers seat, bolted to the floor, I've found a small ECU style box with a plug connector on it. Anyone suggest what this is ? My K10 is carb so not EFi, Lights,Fuel pump, Indicators,heater, radiator, horn, interior lights all working as is the engine and gearbox all perfectly as is the radio

If anything with this box unplugged the car seems more responsive. Car does not have A/C nore climate control. I have no idea what it's for if anyone does please let me know.

It's around 2inch by 3 inch by 1/2 inch silver with a multi wire plug connector

a picture will give us a better chance of answering your question...

its there for the simple reason of keepin the revs at a constant speed when lights and blowers as such are put on. if you disconnect it and let it idle then switch the lights on you will see what it does.

the carb has electronic solinoids in it i think

What Paul said, but mine is under the Passengers seat.

They're all under the passenger seat. I think the subject is incorrect

Also, please do a search for things like this. I've asked this question myself so the answer is definitly on here

Sounds too small to me Arnold. But a picture would make it obvious.

 

[Arnold]

Its definitly what Paul etc have said above. There's no slit in the carpet under the drivers seat for any wiring or device to go through, and there's no holes in the framework for any screws etc for things to go into either.

The super s has a much larger control unit, and has a black plastic cover, but basically does the same job as the normal one, which is half the size, found in any other model of micra.

My revs go up quite a lot when I put electrical stuff on. Does that mean its broken?

why thank you im proud of my womens shoes:blush:
and yes it is a conker there was about 20 of them when we bought the car on wednesday. thought id got them all but obviously not lol

As said it controls idle speed, nothing more.

 

[Charlotte001]

That's the box. It doesn't have an effect on the revving of the car although when I turn the electrics on the idle drops not increases so I guess it's defunct. Any idea how much a replacement is? I'm guessing expensive and from Nissan

There is nothing wrong with it. Its the carb thats at fault if there RPM does not rise under load.

 

[SammoHung]

If you can get somone to help...you can check that the box is ok by putting a multimeter set to voltage onto the connections on the carb solenoid....then run the car ans swithc of f all electrical loads....then put headlights on and you should see a clean and definate voltage change

 

[Charlotte001]

The Carb is fine nothing sticking. Cleaned rebuilt etc.

 

[Ed]

Charlotte, there is a solenoid on the bottom of the carb its _VERY_ common that they stick.

Will have the carb back off tomorrow to check this solenoid.
