It should be straight forward like that, but you might need a scan tool to remove the airbag fault code. Make sure the connections are actually solid by using proper automotive crimps in an appropriate size and test the connection by pulling on the wires once crimped. Soldering is not...

You should be able to just clean the sock well enough. The tank is plastic so it should be able to be rinsed with water, the only major rust source is the filler neck.

Can’t see any photos here unfortunately. I would recommend changing the connector if the other part is more easily available.

Have you checked the fuel pump and its filter sock inside the fuel tank? The filler neck tends to rust, which then get sucked into the filter sock clogging it. That will cause low fuel pressure, which the car can attempt to compensate for by firing the injectors for a longer period...

I would check: idle air control valve fuel pump ECU coolant temperature sensor I had similar issues with mine, unfortunately I got rid of it before I could change the fuel pump.

Where do you keep your fob when attempting to start? Maybe the signal is getting blocked by something like a RF blocking wallet? Check your owners manual, they are usually pretty thorough about things when it comes to key placement and interference.

I wouldn't worry too much about it then if everything else in the car works. If it's causing trouble best to remove the whole system and install a modern one if needed. Also, that lock seems quite easy to pick if needed.

From what I can recall, @yoeddynz had a similar problem, described here: https://micra.org.uk/threads/kiwi-k11s-car-number-five-scuttle-shake.72948/post-794664

Looks very much like an alarm siren. I'd bet it's a dealer installed option, and likely not many were fitted so there's no information on the internet.

Love this rigorous approach to documentation! Keep up the good work, can't wait to read more.

Probably not worth the hassle for the OEM sensor, standalone thermometers are cheap as dirt.

May Dot live on! Micras might leave your driveway but they never leave your heart.

AFAIK no fog lights on those. Just stick an extra one on the bumper if you need one?

Removing a front bumper should not be too difficult and should not need you to jack up the car in order to do it. You might need to turn the wheels for access to screws/clips in the front wheel wells and some crawling to get to the bottom, but that all should be doable in any parking spot.

Check the fuel tank for stuff at the bottom clogging up the pickup. Also, another thing that might be failing is the ignition control module within the distributor. Google RSB-53 for the part.

Have you checked inside the fuel tank? K11s seem to collect rust and grime in the sending unit causing these kinds of problems.

Also if you are getting work done on the front suspension anyway, getting them to have a look at the brakes and maybe greasing up the slide pins won't cost much extra.

You probably should. It will be an issue sooner or later, a good garage will be able to find that easily. Mostly just cosmetic, I’d think. Different inspectors will have different ways of looking at corrosion, but some rust on a coil spring won’t affect anything. This might have ”fixed” itself...

Looks like a gear stick. Does an arrow appear next to it when at high revs? If yes, it’s a shift indicator telling you you should shift up for best fuel economy.

A K11 is scary enough in modern traffic at 100 km/h ? helps you with fuel economy by keeping speeds down now at least
