Out of no where the loved micra has just started having problems...
I'm 99% sure it's the TB from what iv read but just like to have it cleared up,
The problem started about a week ago just before I ran outa fuel.... Car was a bit sluggish and kept losing power, thought it was cos it was running outa petrol, so filled her up and the problem was still there (£35 almost full tank)...
As I thought it could of been fuel lines empty I sat and allowed it to idle for a while before it cut out, then I reved it a little bit before stopping due to a massive cloud of smoke underneath the car... ( there was a pesky bag stuck to the zorst pipe) managed to get it home by revving untill it was maxed revs and slamming to first gear and letting it roll..
No a week later and another fill up (still using about same fuel in a week as before) it still has the sluggish problem, will drive ok for a while and then will just start to jump when in gear, and If you stop and rev outa gear, won't go past about 4-5k (at a guess) before hitting limiter...
Any ideas why this is happening?
Cheers John
