I had an X reg Primera 1.8 16V in today with a lumpy tickover & rough cruising fault. The only code present was P0300 random cylinder misfire. (Sad when can remember them without referring to data innit
I haven’t had a problem yet with a slack timing chain, but I have read plenty. So out with the Pico . Here is the capture…..
see bottom of the page
Talk about trouble codes throwing you off the scent hey! I could be well wrong here but to me, that capture shows a random shift in the relationship between the cam & crank signals. I later removed the cam cover to check the tensioner protrusion & it was about 12mm & the chain feels very loose.
I don’t know if anyone has a known good capture to compare it with. I wont be repairing this as its a trader & he wont want to pay my rates (thankfully)
Anyway, I thought it interesting. I hope someone else shares my enthusiasm.
