Coil failure

Nissan Almera 2002  2000 miles
Even though the four coils are working, coil number 1 has no spark. I was told this has to do with a computer failure. The strange thing is that sometimes it works and others it does not. I've already changed all the coils and only one of them does not spark. What can it be?

Cheers mate...one of the posible cause is the ecu not sending signal to the coil...just check the pin for signal at the coil socket harnes side with test light you will found no ground wether power on or off...you can compare to the other 3 socket to double confirm

Starts but does not accelerate

Nissan Almera 2007  138000 miles
Good afternoon, I have a Nissan Almera 2007, which starts but does not accelerate. The first failure that appeared and was detected by the scanner was a crankshaft sensor damage. It was replaced together with a coil that was failing too. The car worked properly for some days, until the engine started vibrating and losing power. This got worse with time and, today, it does not accelerate nor work properly any longer. I've checked the rear stop lights and they are working. When changing the gear to reverse the car, it usually stalls.

According to my mechanic, the car stalls either when the reverse lights are failing or when there is a damaged sensor in the reverse box. I had your same problem and, in my case, it was a failure in the reverse lights.

Fuse to Spark Plug keeps blowing

Nissan Almera 2001 Hatchback Automatic 1.8 110000 miles
Since January my car has stopped on me about 6 times now. The AA was convinced the first time that it was the fuel pump but it turned out to be the fuse to the Spark Plugs had gone. Each time the fuse is changed and I drive again no problem until it happens again. The car has been in the garage various times. Spark Plugs were changed, a thorough check of wiring, bits clean up and replaced and yesterday all 4 coils were replaced. Today it happened again. I had only just started the car up and driven less than 10 feet. It doesn't always happen from cold although 3 have been from cold and 3 from… Read complete
