New door mech.. 350 alone.. Clips and actuators are all extra... So I have to combine my old wiv new to make one complete working unit..Lol.. Also while driven to Nissan I had air-con on... Noticed that when i put the foot dwn the air con would blow more air/at least sound louder and would be in sync with revs... Almost like I would up the revs befor gear gange and so would aircon.. Change gear and revs drop n aircon go bak to normal... I'm wandering if this is all related.. Like if it idles high you can turn aircon on and revs drop then skittle bit late revs go bak up u can turn aircon on n off again and it drops the high idle... Only little things but still doing my head in...

check the voltage at the back of the alternator and see what you get
also check battery voltage while you're at it,
Re read what 3speed said.
How oily was your IC, you said it was oily when you took it off,
give it a clean with petrol and tape up one end and pressurize it
with a bike pump, unless of course you have a tigged one already.
Make sure the IC is dry before you re install it,[hair dryer]

Hmmm. Electric door lock playin up, starter sounds like it cranking slow, engine bay recently washed... Im thinking the GU high resistance earth syndrome. I would be checking the engine bay and all connections for corrosion or loose plugs. Arm yourself with a can of wd40 and go exploring. Rear of alternator as said above, battery terminals and lugs and the earth connections to the starter motor itself. that air conditioner fan slowing down with revs sounds like high resistance earth somewhere. Try the same thing with your lights on high beam. If it voltage related it will probably be worse. could also effect your original hard start prob if low volts = glows not getting as hot as they could quickly = slow cranking = hard start.
Its possible that high internal resistance batteries can give good volt reading but no good under load. Might be worth getting a autl lectrickery bloke or mechanic to do a load test on battery.

Wil start first pop like 3-4 times in a row and I'm like ah ok I might had fixed it nxt Minit it won't start til like 5th click. Lol.. Once I finsh this lock mech.. Il check alt n batt voltages and report back... Once again thnks to all those who have commented and helped out...

Pic of my hybrid.. Old + new = hopefully fixed.. Lol
did you notice how a few of us all went for battery/alternator/bad earth

Yep just about to check earth straps.. Battery.. Relays and lose wiring, alternator etc... Quick update.. We'll I finally fixed door lock mech.. Locks and unlocks with key frm inside n out.. Central locking all wrkn etc... Happy days.. I thought befor I throw door card back on i would upgrade front speakers with a spare set of 6.5 inch pioneer splits I had lying arnd.. Will quickly put these bad boys in and if this sun eases up il have a crack at checkn all the above...
