- Idle Speed Fault On The K11 Nissan Micra Now Diagnosed - But Is It An Easy Fix For Dad or Beyond Repair?
#car #nissan #nissanmicra
In 2007 Dad bought me my first car - a 2000 plate K11 Nissan Micra Sport. It was a peach, 24,000 miles from new, top spec, and in amazing condition. I drove it. I used it as my daily driver up until 2015, racking up over 85,000 miles. Then I met Mrs JC and fancied something a bit more ... impressive.
I parked the car in the garage and left it under a cover for 10 years. NOW - fast forward to 2024 - and Dad suggested it was time to get the old girl back on the road for Rustival 2 in September BUT - is it too far gone? Are we wasting our time?
We have got it out of the garage and now to dads house - sadly .. it STILL won't idle properly - in this video, Dad talks us through the diagnostic procedure he has completed so far AND tells us what the problem is ... Hands up if you said Idle Control Valve!
Is it an easy fix though?

Runs ok when it’s not trying to idle .Mr C’s one liners are legendary 😂 Thanks for the video guy’s
Cheers Brad - thanks for watching mate
Love your dad’s humour you should have a T-shirt of him holding spanner’s saying Dad’s fixed it
Ha great idea! 🤣👍
Your mum was running fine 10 years ago😂😂😂. Your dad is awesome. Love the content as always 😎
Dad , will be in the dog cage on next vid !!!!!!!!!!
Dad will be in the dog house next vid
He does have some classic one liners!
Not panicking son not panicking! Good t shirt slogan.
I like that idea!
The hunt continues, well done guys 😃
Cheers Frank ☺️
Order a Takeaway, and accidentally not be able to find your wallet, while Dad Snuffles the parts needed. As a good Delivery Driver never idles.
That's a great idea! 😄
Any salad on your Kebab?
Cheeky bit of induction noise there... I like that!
🤣🤣 new ringtone for you
Am sure you will get there 😊😊
Yeah ☺️👍
I bought my wife a 1.3 CVT K11 on an L plate c. 1997, with only 2,500 miles on the clock and 1 owner. She kept it for around 23 years until the tin worm meant there was little to weld to. It was a nippy peach of a car - my only grumble being the lack of power steering. It only needed 2 (cheap) refurbished throttle bodies and (equally cheap) fan resistor cards plus a new dizzy cap, apart from normal service items. There are still low mileage K11s around and from time to time I find myself eyeing the 1.4, with all the bells and whistles. I suspect you're not that far from me (Lincoln). Did I say we have a Smart 451 turbo, too?!
Sounds a lovely car! Yes we are a bit further east from you - the one with the big church! - I love the Smart 451 Turbo :)
Well done Jon and Pete a great video as ever and I definitely agree sounds like it is going to be the idle control valve or maf it’s not regulating it’s idle speed and probably not communicating right with ECU I’ve had one go on a focus in the past
It’s coming on great well done on your hard work
Cheers Daniel. Fingers crossed 🤞
I admire the technical skills of your dad and the way you ask the right questions and make the appropriate comments.
Being an Audi fan however I wonder why your dad dislikes them so much.
My TT (2000), Q5(2013) and R8 V10 Spyder(2013) are great cars so what is his problem?😉
I think he has just had some bad experiences with them in the past :) - i love them!
Oh Jon, I would not be furious if your dad robbed bits off the museum Micra. I'd be disappointed and as we all know, that is far far worse!
Joking apart, fault finding can be so frustrating so fingers crossed, the throttle body, idle control valve and MAF sensor replacement sorts it out.
Cheers ☺️👍😊
From memory the ICV other than a clean if taken apart needs to be set back up with consult. The other avenue worth exploring is the engine temperature sensor Not the dash gauge sender its worth removing and testing in the past i have had one with loads of crud stuck to it effectively acting as a thermal insulator. On the coil pack Micra its easier to get to as you don't have a distributor in the way, worth checking especially if it has been laid up whilst tinkering on the sensor I'd be tempted to test the thermostat at the same time and replace the coolant. Unfortunately I've not tinkered with coil pack Micras as mine have and are distributor ones with the Hitachi throttle body and injectors that's a whole other headache. Excellent content as always I'm dailying my k11 this week as i get my i10 ready for the MOT fingers crossed.
Some good advice - I reckon Dad has tested all that in the diagnostic process but as you say without Consult it's rather difficult to do a lot of things! Enjoy your Micra weekend 😄
Bring back the carburettor, much easier to set up and run, showing my age now, Jon. Your dad comes out with some great one-liners😂
Yes! The carb system would certainly have been easier! I think he comes up with them without realising it 🤣
The days of the carburettor remember them well but I do think we look back on them with rose tinted glasses back in the late 70s and into the 80s I've lost count of the number of times I ended up having to put right someone's Sunday tune ups same goes for points and condenser. Towards the end of the 80s the dam carburettor became such a pain to set up that we were over the moon when fuel injection became the accepted norm and not the preserve of exotica. The K11 is often cited as the cockroach of the 90s super mini but they can be a bugger sometimes often because of delayed or missed maintenance. Not suggesting for a minute this is the case here I have run quite a few k11s that I rescued passed on still have a 98 inspiration in daily use.Thankfully I'm long out of the trade I could see where the industry was going by the mid 2000s and settled for a steady job with the council and just tinker for fun.
Take the throttle Body off and give it some Sonic Treatment
Good idea!
At least it’s found
Yes absolutely 😄👍
You could always take the idle control valve off the museum micra and make sure 100% its that.
We did consider that ... but we also considered running the risk of breaking it in the process ... leaving us with 2 broken Micras :)
Didn't you have a third Micra, Jon? Was it an auto? What was the plan for that?
@@Nick_of_Windsor i do - its still here in the collection :)
❤❤😊😊👍👍
☺️👍
Youve lost a bit of timber jon or is it me
Thanks for noticing. I've lost 3 and a half stone since March ☺️👍
@@JonCoupland how have you managed it well done 👏 I hope you feel better for it
For a chip person like me and chip butty person it's hard to lose weight
@@chucky2316 quite a lot of self discipline RE food intake
jon, buying a 2nd hand one, won't that be possibly in the same condition or in time end up that way? buy cheap, buy twice they say!
Alas £30 Vs £450 ...
@@JonCoupland but how many possibly tired 2nd hand one would you have to replace vs just forking out for a new one which will last years hopefully? I get your pain its a lot of money financially, but may work out better in the long run. summat to ponder over eh?
What a waste of your dads time and your money
You certainly may see it as a waste of his time - got to keep him busy! Remember this project was HIS idea to do! Not mine 🤣 He's not spending any of his own money however - it's all my hard earned TH-cams cash 👍 technically it's viewers money!
What would you suggest we do instead?
roger if you don't like it, you can easily watch something else! there are others on here who like the content.
@@JonCoupland take no notice of the keyboard trolls, they aren't worth the airtime mate.
Totally agree Lucy, pull you head in Roger.
