Micra not fireing

[Daston]

Hey guys

Just went to move the micra yet the engine turned over but didnt fire up. I had to crank it and pump the throttal to get her to fire. She sounded really rough but after a few seconds sounded fine. She starts first time now although there is a slight squeeking noise.

Any ideas would be good

How long since you last started it? my sup is exactly the same after sitting a couple of weeks. Really dont know what causes it.

I ran it last night to move it so I could get the supe back in the garage

Check the points/distributer cap as these are common problems on micra.
Try cleaning them and see if it makes a difference.

My Mk2 micra would flood the enigne if having been moved from cold only a short distance and then tried to be restarted a short while afterwards. The trick is to pull the fuel pump fuse in the fuse box nearest the drivers door this stops the pump dumping more fuel in and the flooding, once started after a bit of cranking pop the fuse back in and hey presto. Common problem, but the fix works every time.

Would have to be an 80's job to have points surely, 90's to have a distibuter cap and electronic ignition, Later models with full ECU.

Anyway if it has any of these then yeah I'd check the dizzy cap,rotor, leads plugs.

thanks for the input guys will have a fiddle around tomorrow, its a 1995 model so has the dizzy. Good thing its a lot more simple than the supra lol
