Air Filter Problem?

Nozebleed

Hi lads..last few days i noticed my car is sluggish to take off..i cut out twice when taking off from the lights this week. like the car just aint getting the same power at low rev's...it's not due a service for another 4K. It's not a clutch problem!! i had that replaced by nissan last year!

any ideas? thanks

Any lights coming on on the dash? Is it running rough?

Try and get it hooked up to a computer to read the engine management system first. Could possibly be a coil pack, but could be many other things also.

hi Nozebleed

as already stated it could be the coil pack, but you could also try the plugs they tell a thousand words when looked at ( http://www.aa1car.com/library/reading_spark_plugs.jpg ) also try the airflow senser normaly on the airfilter hose, it might be just as cheap to bring it to a garage rather than trying to troubleshoot a problem like this especially if you dont have the equipment to hook up to the engine management system,

hope you get it sorted soon

What year?

If its the 01 on(new model) then they suffer with stretched chains which would give the problem you describe..

Nozebleed

no its the old model. 00 reg. i dont think it's a chain problem to be honest. i wouldn't have thought it was that serious.
thanks for the help.
