jasper65 6 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 driveing the Nav today and got 3 - 4 miles down the road and it started to miss fire! If I eased up on the acceraltor it was ok again but as soon as I put my foot down it held back as if it wanted to cut out?.... My first thought was to change the Fuel Filter! I picked one up from the local town center went to fit it and realised that this filter needs a plastic drain plug, the one already fitted on the motor for some reason hasn't got one.. it seems the one fitted on the car is the wrong one..... If anyone knows anywhere or any Breakers where I can get a replacement Fuel filter drain plug can you give me a shout ... cheers Jasper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Is the engine management light on ? No mate but it took a turn for the worse today and cut out everytime I tried to open up the throttle, I managed to get about 1/2 mile down the road with it spluttering and looked in the mirror to see a cloud of smike behind me.... One thing that did bother me was the Malfunction light kept coming on..... Jasper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fidgety 8 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Check the oil, some vehicles will go into "limp home mode" when oil is low or has not been changed for a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ali N 0 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 check on a nissan forum, or check out difflock.com. Navaras have a history of blowing engines, I can think of three or four that all went around 80k, and they had all been looked after Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasper65 6 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 would think its fuel filter Cheers all for the help but it seems you was right SP . a guy at the local garage told me he thinks the fuel pump is on its way out as you could here a noise from the engine. I fitted a new filter but he reckoned it would only be a short term fix ? short term fix my arse and its running superb again now after all the filters and oil change!! it also turned out the noise from the engine was the alternator, a quick blast with WD40 and it cleared it up ....
