   You don't say which engine you have but i have gleaned it must be petrol if the the spark plugs have been changed. I take it your air filter also has been changed. Check you have nothing blocking the air flow to the filter intake, it has been known for a loose headlight cover to do this. I would also check you battery earth leads to the chassis and gear box ensuring good connection and no breaks.

	Hi there! I had the same thing last month. My problems were a faulty crankshaft sensor. Had it replaced and problems solved. Good luck! PS: The crankshaft and camshaft are exactly the same sensor. Cheers! Sander

	Hi All. I have a 2003 Primera P12, when the car starts and is left alone, after some few minutes/seconds it feels as though the car is about to cut out, the rev counter drops to below one briefly and then comes back up again. This also happens when driving, especially when in traffic and if care is not taken, sometimes the car completely cuts out. The car was serviced 3 months ago. spark plugs changed, oil etc. I used a scanner to scan the car, no error codes, and I am unsure as to what the issue could be.
