I have a 1999 1.0 i K11, It just wouldnt start the other morning, Ive never had any problems with it over the past 4 years, its been running great. I checked for a spark and there wasnt any so Ive put in new plugs, Distributor cap and Rotor arm, Checked all the relevant fuses, I get fuel ok but still no spark at the plugs. Could anyone point me in any direction that I may have missed, It has no OBD2 diagnostic port. Any help would be really appreciated...

Thanks Frank, Ive just followed the link and it came up error, My first instinct was the Dizzy but now Im wondering if its the immobiliser or something...its usually the dizzy steve, but only when hot

I am a member.. I think, so if I get fuel on the plugs its not the nats, Im really confused as to why it just stopped running as it was used the night before with no problems at all... I will see if I can find adapter and send for one...

Ive seen that in the manual where you bridge two ports etc... I will give that a go tomorrow Frank.. thanks..

Ive just been reading the manual again ref the removing the Dizzy cap, It says to remove the cap and recover the spring from the Ignition coil tower. When I took the cap off there was no spring on the tower, but I saw one inside of it, is that correct or should it be outside and slip over the pin that is offset in the cap to complete the circuit... Ive never removed a dizzy cap on a Micra before....

Should this spring that Ive marked on the image be inside of the Dizzy cap when its removed, it wasnt when I took it off but could see a spring pushed into the ignition coil tower, so Im wondering if this makes the connection to complete the circuit....

A little update, The spring was pushed inside the ignition coil tower, I took it out stretched it back so it came out proud of the hole, when I fitted the cap back on I could feel the pressure unlike before, It still wouldnt start, I did the paper clip test under the dash and got repeated 55 .. everything working as it should. So now Im thinking it could be the coil, I understand that by getting it warm with a heat gun and it starts it verifies that the coil is at fault.... any advice welcome..
