Nissain Micra 94 K11 not starting!! HELP NEEDED....
 

Anyone on here familiar with these shed boxes!
Basically it wont start! NOT EVEN WITH EASY START! :cry:
iv got sparks on all 4, fuel and compression!
iv recently serviced it, so i know the ngk sparkplugs are brand new.
the problem has just started out the blue :cry:
the FACT it wont fire with EASY START makes me wonder if the timing has
jumped on the chain!!
it seems to hiccup on a cylinder but just wont fire up on all 4!
the engines done approx 78k miles not sure if genuine!
I know these do suffer with noisy timing chains with age.
Just need to know if anyone knows of any common problems?
any help would be much appreciated.

Not flooded is it. Try removing the fuel pump fuse and turning it over a few times. put the fuse back in and try to start. If it was last started and switched off after only a few seconds they can flood themselves.

Did it originally cut out whilst running or just fail to start from cold?

Carb I assume, not injection?

Fuel pump fuse out if possible, throttle wide open and turn it over to get plenty of air through it.

.

it did flood from all the cranking, but i whipped the plugs back out and cleaned them.
its a multipoint injection 1.3
il see if by removing the fuse there is any difference!

it was started and driven a few metres then switched off and left for a day,
and now it just wont start! :cry: :wall:

Its flooded! Unplug the lambda sensor and crank it and it should go. Can't remeber the reason behind it but if you drive it 2 meters and turn it off, they flood themselfs, and you have to unplug the lambda to get it to start again.

i used to work at nissan and the reason it wont start is in your description above. They hate being rin from cold for a few seconds then turned off and left. Its flooded thats all.

The ones on the used car pitch used to do the same if you were shuffling them round in the winter - when the cold start fueling is very rich. In the summer it aint too bad.

Get it started by what ever means, and give it a run, should be ok then.

If you think nissans are bad at this, jag XJv8's are even worse!!

take the air box lid off and remove the filter; remove the spark plugs and crank a few times, put plugs back in but LEAVE filter & lid off - it will then start ;-)

thanx chaps. it was just flooded!
started up first time today!! :grin:
wonder why it wouldnt go yesterday! cunting thing! :wall:

All the fuel has leaked past the rings overnight, now you've got thinned out oil.

Next post will be anyone know why Nissans knock from the bottom end...

no mate, i had the plugs out and cleaned and cranked it over to clear the bores!!
but thanx none the less!

go to the dealers an buy the modded loom for the coolant temp sensor, resolved the issue 90%, iir its about £30, just plugs in.

thnx
 

thanx so much, it helped.

8 yrs later. great.
