    Unhappy Problem with my micra already (sputters at 2500 RPM) ... Solved.

    Gets to 2500rpm in any gear and spits and spotters 3300km on it

    Mine passed 8,000km without a hiccup, so I suggest you take yours back to the dealer you bought it from so they can make it right.

    In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.

    Did you get a check engine light when this happened?

    If you did, the code will be saved for them to read/analyze.

    Thanks for letting us know!

    I don't think I've ever experienced vapour lock before.

    The west coast, east coast, and prairies have been experiencing hot, humid weather recently, which, according to Wikipedia, can contribute to vapour lock. I didn't realize that Banjo came from Edmonton's sibling to the south (and sibling rivalry is a good way to describe the rivalry between our two cities ) Seen any other Micra's down in Cowtown , Banjo? I'm afraid I've seen about a hundred times more truck nuts then Micra's in Edmonton. Why? Because, 'Burta

    Wouldn't know much about vapour lock in the central Canadian weather this summer. It's been a little chillier than usual.

    That said, it's nice today, so I'm taking the rest of the day off!

    Overfilling the tank with gas can cause vapour lock; I'm curious to know if you continued to fill the tank after the first click to top it off?
