Hi all, I found this forum whilst searching for problems with the good old K11 Micra!
I have offered to help with my friend's 2001 1.0 Micra S.
A few months ago it was running really rough when hot so we changed the airflow sensor for a new one off ebay along with the lambda and plugs and a new coilpack as one was looking a bit dodgy.
The airflow sensor didn't last long and the same symptoms returned so we bought one from the scrapyard which didn't work.
The next purchase was a complete throttle body including all sensors from a same year micra of a breaker. This cured the problem and the car ran sweet for another month.
Next problem was that the car wouldn't start from cold without a touch of gas and the idle was very low and lumpy, basically you had to rev it to keep it running. Once warmed up it's fine.
Today I took it to a garage for a diagnostic check but nothing came up. As it was temperature relalated I thought to change the coolant temp sensor along with a quick clean of the plugs which seemed ok tbh. I have just been to fire it up and it is exactly the same as before.
I am now out of ideas, please help
Jim
