Spark? (Sorry, this post will not have many pictures. I was too excited.) It was quite the quiet day at work, so I had ample time to browse the Internet and look for what's wrong. Most of you probably already know the issue at hand: a broken ignition module, also known as a RSB-53. With that...

While I haven't personally had that issue, I recall reading a thread on here suggesting strut top mounts. If the bearing gets stuck, the coil spring gives a little and allows for turning, but the extra load from going over a bump finally twists the bearing enough to make a noise. Unfortunately...

Summer This story begins last summer. During the rest of the year an university student, but as holidays were on, I was working. Early hours meant no luck with public transport, and family circumstances meant I couldn't borrow a car from my parents, at least not reliably. Thus the search begun...

IIRC some cars that were not fitted with a tacho from factory don't have the correct signal wire in the loom, so you need to add it to yourself. The easiest place is probably at the ECU which lives buried in the centre console below the radio. The service manual for the K11 is quite easily...

Looking at an old brochure on the Internet Archive, it seems the size is exactly the same except for the 5door version weighing 10kg more. Having parked my 3door next to a 5door I can tell you that at least visually it's identical in size.

I'd say some sort of OBD2-reader like an MPGuino or maybe a bluetooth ELM327 adapter would be the easiest and most readily available way to get that data.

As far as I know they are just for windshield installation. Make sure to seal the hole really well or your scuttle panel will rust.

According to the service manual: Both black wires: ground Red wire: should go to ECU pin 1, controls the transistor for the coil. Green/white: 12v feed to from ECU relay White: crankshaft position signal to ECU

A little bit of an update; I was able to give the connector a good ol' wiggle with a pair of screwdrivers and it seems to have shifted my running issues from cold to hot. I suppose that is leading me in the right direction and I have asked a local garage for a quote on replacing the sensor.

So I've got a 1999 1.0 poverty spec Micra that almost runs well. My research has suggested that the ECU side coolant temperature sensor would be faulty. All well and good; the Haynes manual has specs for the sensor resistance at various temperatures. The only problem is that it seems you need...
