hi all.
i purchased a 2004 micra 1.0 k12 engine the other day.
cheap as idling problem!!
doing abit of research im suspecting timing chain but would like opinions.
1) idles rough and oftern cuts out.
2) has refused to pick up revs to move off (as i found out at a t-juntion in the middle of the road)
3) jumping rev counter.
4) kangarooing when thring to go a constant speed.
i have looked at the tentioner as ive seen on many advice pages and it looks to be around the 10mm mark maybe a slight bit more!
so from this would everyone be 100% confident that camchain causing this issue?
if so i may go slap the seller as he claimed chain was done 6k miles ago.
was a trade sale so cant bitch too much and it was cheap
on the subject of timing chains is there any how to guides floating about?
im a very competent mechanic but never delt with k12 engines before other than service ect so would be handy to know timing marks etc before i start.
thanks in advance for any advice recived.
