Nissan Micra stalling and lumpy idle - 22nd Oct 2013 9:03pm
Hi,
I've had my X reg Nissan Micra S 1.0 petrol car since new (2000) and recently have been experiencing some problems with it. Problems I've been having are a lumpy idle and stalling when pulling up to lights/junctions, and after reversing in a three point turn
If i start the car up in the driveway, the engine runs smoothly when 1st started. After about 30 sec the revs drop a little and the idle becomes erratic with the revs fluctuating between. I have no rev counter installed so am unable to give figures. It's almost as if the engine's about to stall and it then revs itself up. Some times while idling in the driveway the engine will cut out. The stalling happens when pulling up at junctions or traffic lights, when the clutch is pressed and held in the majority of times the engine will cut out. When this happens, the battery warning light comes on. I've had the battery checked and it's fully charged
Has anyone else experience this sort of problem? The car has done just over 80,000 miles and is serviced annually.
Thanks in advance for any info and advice
