OK, Thanks for the info! I expected a kickdown when I stomp on the gas, but the shift up surprised me as I thought cvts weren't supposed to do this? oh well... So just to be sure it's almost definitely a cvt type transmission - not a standard planetary auto transmission?

Hi There, Just a quick question... I have a 2000 998cc Nissan March Auto (Japanese Model). I assume it is a cvt model, but i can always feel a distinct shift up when accelerating. Also, if I give it gas it will shift down. So this might be a really dumb question - but are all nissan k11...

Hey, I've posted lots of questions recently, so thanks everyone for the help! I have one final question... I've got a 998cc early 2000 Nissan March Auto (Japanese Import). It actually runs pretty good apart from two annoying points: 1. It's only getting about 23mpg even when cruising. I...

Hi There, I'm being driven insane by poor fuel economy on my 1.0 k11 Nissan March (2000). I've done all the standard maintenance stuff, changed spark plugs, air filter, leads, distributor, oil, oil filter, brakes etc. I even resoldered the contacts on the maf to see if that was causing issues...

Yeah, its got that light on the dash. It lights up with ignition and turns off almost as soon as the engine starts. The car is a japanese import, I'm living abroad and all the nissans here are imported.

Thanks for the help. The lambda sensor's got three small wires coming out of it, but not sure if that's just because the plastic shielding has been stripped off?

Hi All, So I have limited mechanical knowledge, I normally limit myself to changing oil and spark plugs and leaving the rest to the professionals. Anyway, as I was replacing my oil the other day I noticed a sensor on the exhaust that wasn't attached to anything - the wire had snapped and I...

Great, thanks for the info, I'll check that out. Checked again, it's getting 21mpg not 28mpg, my math sucks - so there is definitely some issue. Thanks again for all the help!

Hi Frank, Thanks for the info, I'll look out for a JECS throttle body. Really appreciate your feedback. I know 28mpg is not terrrible for most autos, but thought it would be a lot better on a little 1.0 litre model? Also, Is it common for throttle bodies to cause heavy shuddering in drive and...

Hi All, I know there are lots of threads about throttle bodies, but haven't found an answer to this question. I have only basic mechanical skills, but after just buying my 2000 k11 March auto, I'm already being driven crazy by poor fuel consumption (28mpg) and a really bad shudder in reverse...
