Hi guys n girls, I hope youve all had a good christmas / festive period and that alls well.
I have an issue - and before i get things thrown at me for the micra thread... I would join a micra club, but its not the same as it is here, you guys are generally more helpful, friendlier and on the ball
lol
So providing no one on here minds....
I parked the misus micra in the garage xmas eve, took the skyline out and came back boxing day's evening, since then the micra wont start.
Its been overdue a service so ive done the following just to get it started:
Replaced spark plugs
replaced dizzy cap n rotor arm
replaced fuel filter
checked the spark from the dizzy (at first it appeared weak, hence changed dizzi cap n arm)
checked battery and its holding 11.9 volts (bearing in mind ive been turning it over quite a lot to try and start it)
have swapped over throttle bodies and air flow meter from my CG13DE micra but still no joy there.
the engine does turn over, there are no sounds of rattling timing chain or snapped timing chain.
im currently waiting for datascan to get back to me with an activation code for Nissan DataScan 1, gonna see if i can hook it up to the mrs laptop to see if theres an electrical / sensor fault ive overlooked.
There arent any warning lights coming up on the dash, just the usual IGN lights.
im thinking it could be the distributor itself, or perhaps a fuse somewhere along the line but havent checked any as yet.
can anyone think of anything else i might of missed?
Its a new one for me cos the common faults with Micras are AFM and distributor, but like i say it is providing a spark, and my car started fine with the CG10DE throttle body/afm.
Many thanks in advance for your time, and i appreciate its not a Skyline, but i could do with a fresh set of brains on the case (as mine are useless this time of year lol)

ps if the thread is to be deleted, could someone let me know so im not looking for something that might not be there... for not being a Skyline. cheers
