    ..... what wrong with m car GU8 started to miss and got xmass tree.

    Ok so my car is a 2012 50th anniversary GU8, stock as a rock engine wise.

    Driving to work this morning, the traction control and stability control light come on, OK WTF, turned engine off, waited, turned back on, drove about 300m, lights come back on, engine starts to miss a bit, turned it off, this time only 300m from work parking.

    Waited some more, turned it back on and lights still on, and car seamed to miss, when i pulled into the car park the car engine almost stalled.

    Turned it off for good, checked engine codes and nothing, the only thing is that the Stability and traction lights turned on and the car had a miss, in the engine intermittently.

    Has anyone had this before. I am calling nissan but need to work out what the f is going on first

    Call Nissan and get them to come and get it, fix it and drop it back to you by end of day mate. That is what your warranty is for.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Like we do at work on these big machines running up to 5 ecm's the ole battery isolate does the trick. If something like this occurs again try just disconnecting the battery for 10 min and see how she goes.

    Do what Nissannewby said.. I have heard a few times similar things happening and a bit of piss farting around and on 2 occasions disconnecting the battery sorted it ??????

    Cant hurt to try.

    I would, at least, check to see if all the plugs under the bonnet that you can reach are all plugged in properly and there isn't a loose connector....
    GU PATROL 2011 Ti, with goodies...
