slipstream Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Ok I changed my spark plugs on a 57 plate HR, and now when I slow down and go into second or third, and then start to speed up again the car kangaroo's / holds back for a split second so could I of disturbed or missed something as all was good before hand ? Thanks, Stuart. Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Provided you fitted the correct plugs, then the only other likelihood is that you have disturbed the coil wiring, or other wiring close by. Quote

slipstream Posted November 3, 2016 Author Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) What plugs did you fit ? Denso FXE22HR11 iridium Would it be worth checking gap size or should they be already set ? Edited November 3, 2016 by slipstream Quote
ZMANALEX Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) What plugs did you fit ? Denso FXE22HR11 iridium Okay, correct plugs so you will just have to retrace your steps. Make sure that all coil packs and maf sensors are all hooked up correctly and that all wiring and hoses removed were put back as they were. Providing a plug was not dropped and the electrode perhaps damaged causing a smaller than required gap, then it must be something that you have just not got quite right. Take your time retrace your steps and you should find it. Edited November 3, 2016 by ZMANALEX Quote
slipstream Posted November 3, 2016 Author Posted November 3, 2016 Thanks zmanalex, I will go over it again tomorrow and double check things, thanks for your advise. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 What plugs did you fit ? Denso FXE22HR11 iridium Would it be worth checking gap size or should they be already set ? They are preset, however I always check them before fitting. Quote

Richf Posted November 5, 2016 Posted November 5, 2016 Did you do one at a time or all at once , its pretty easy to get the coil wiring swapped around Quote
Chris141084 Posted November 6, 2016 Posted November 6, 2016 Did you disturb a throttle body when changing your plugs? Clean any dirt or anything while the inlet pipes were off? Quote
slipstream Posted November 7, 2016 Author Posted November 7, 2016 Did you disturb a throttle body when changing your plugs? Clean any dirt or anything while the inlet pipes were off? I did slightly push on the butterfly on one as it looked as if it was not closed all the way, so it's going into nissan on Wednesday as I have now had enough, and I believe Nissan reset the throttles or something like that!

slipstream Posted November 10, 2016 Author Posted November 10, 2016 All sorted now thanks for your input, Thanks, Stuart. Quote
slipstream Posted November 11, 2016 Author Posted November 11, 2016 so what was it then? Throttles had to be reset at Nissan at a cost of £69, but hey you live and learn lol Quote
mr v6 Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 so what was it then? Throttles had to be reset at Nissan at a cost of £69, but hey you live and learn lol Glad you're now sorted, but I've just Googled this & there's loads of sites showing how to do it yourself with the pedal.. Unless I've missed a trick somewhere. Quote
KyleR Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 Yup, can be done at home whilst sitting in the car, unfortunately no one seen you had it booked into Nissan and could advise you of the procedure to save you a few quid. Glad its sorted now anyways Quote
slipstream Posted November 13, 2016 Author Posted November 13, 2016 Tried the peddle dance once and it did'nt reset, then after that i could not get back into the reset procedure doing the peddle dance for some reason. Quote
