It's a 1999 nissan primera 2.0 P11. Suddenly refused to start in the afternoon 3days ago after coming out from the bank. I had driven it there myself 40 minutes earlier and was working fine. At ignition, the fan rotates but the car just won't start. Put in a new battery 5 days ago. So I called in a technician. Tested the plugs - working fine. Tested the fuel pump and filter - both working fine. Battery is new as I just had it replaced 5 days ago. Now he says the problem is with the brain box and had to get it fixed. NATS (nissan anti-theft system) and keyfob central lock buttons had stopped working about 2yrs ago, but didn't bother fixing it although the security led light on the dashboard still blinks. I still use the original key so the problem of key transponder is out of the question - or at least I assume. The car is still parked at the bank as it is automatic. I'm not sure the brain box is the problem and goodness, was I so dejected when he mentioned brain box problem cos now he's been to Akure in search of a replacement but no luck. Please I need serious help from technicians or those with experience here.

NB, Please forgive me if I've posted this topic in the wrong section. I searched for an auto-tech section but didn't get one. Another thing is that the car had the problem in Ekiti, so the possibility of taking it to Lagos for repairs is slim unless of course I decide to import a technician from Lag. Thanks in anticipation of your great help.

I have this same problem please, has there been any solution to it yet? Thanks all.

Andy

Change the Ignition Coil.
