Hi there,
I have a problem with my 1.0 Micra (1998, S-reg) bought about 3 months ago. I've tried to go to work on Friday morning but the car does not start. When I turn the key to second position I hear the fuel pump working, lights and gauges are normal and the LED stops blinking on the front panel (immobiliser?). By turning the key to ignite the starter motor works fine but the engine does not start.
Today I've checked the fuses in the main fuse box and in the fusible link box as well. Then I grap my multimeter and tested the 2 wire plug on the distributor. I measured around 0.6 volts on this in 2nd and ignite position. Is this normal? I guess it should be 12V. I also measured an injector lead during start and it had only 0 - 0.1 volt on it. I know it get impulses only but I would expect a bit more.
What should be the problem? Computer? Relay? There was heavy rain one day before and during the night and there was no problem coming home (but the poor car park in front of the house).
I never had starting problems but couple of times I felt that not all cylinders working but it turned fine after driving about a minute.
