I have a 1.3 Micra, N reg (I think)
I drove it to work (5 miles) & drove it at 12pm on my lunch (around 3 miles)
It ran fine, no issues, sounds or anything abnormal whatsoever.
Finished work at 5pm, got in the car, started the engine.
I put my seatbelt on & the engine cut out.
Tried again, the car refused to fire up but turned over fine.
Engine management light was flashing..
Left it about 30-60 seconds, exactly the same happened again as per above. It starts & runs for about 5 seconds then just cuts off and won't start again without a bit of a rest.
The battery is fine, there's half a tank of petrol (filled up yesterday).
I'm guessing it's the Dizzy, or fuel pump, or something similar? When the engine runs it is smooth as anything and doesn't misfire at all.
Does anyone know anything about what it could be? Faults and things to check when I'm back in work on Monday?
I'd like to avoid calling the garage and fix it myself
