K11 - loss of power

[rallybunny]

Hiya,
Someone on UJCC has a problem with their wife's Micra, and I said I'd ask on here about it, as you guys were all so knowledgeable when I had mine.

Anyway, car is 1.0 W reg with 80k. The problem is

a considerable lack of any 'Umph' that it used to have (it was once nippy) and petrol consumption isnt far off of my MR2! I have given it a change of plugs,air filter and oil but that hasnt done too much too get it back to the way it use to be.

Any ideas would be muchly appreciated.

Could be a throttlebody problem, have they done a diagnostic check by sticking a paperclip in the fusebox?

Seriously? How?

I think he means bridging the connection in the Consult port that makes the engine check light blink out the fault codes. I can't remember which pins to bridge, but the Haynes may say...

Does it have coilpacks?
I ask cause this is same as my Golf at moment, no "umph" and mpg has gone poor, for me it seems to be a bad coilpack.
