It could be many things I afraid. But a couple of things you can try (other than looking it up on you tube)
a) Search on this forum/youtube
1) Get it up to temp and give it a thorough revving
2) Check for any loose vac hoses or leaks. A incense stick on non windy day or hissing noises
3) if it can be driven - give it a good thrash - you willl be amazed how often its just gunk on the ICV idle control valve or other sticky spots.
4) buy and spray some carb cleaner
These are all cheap starting places.
Its probably a sticky ICV or other carb part - but Im just a bodger.
Good luck bit be safe - dont stick your fingers anywhere.

Not yet. Doing the usual , coil pack . Leads. Plugs etc . Can't get the obd to communicate. Did the blinking light test got nothing just 7 quick flashes . Have no engine management light coming on . Have noticed the plug leads and caps are getting unusually hot . Can't understand why it runs perfectly until it reaches running temperature?
Micra kangaroo is invariably related to a throttle body/connections issue.
The quickest & therefore cheapest diagnosis method is to simply unplug the TB lower plug in connector.
The vehicle will then be drivable without erratic kangarooing if the TB is the fault issue.
Good luck.
