It would all depend on what model of Nissan it is and what the problem with the distributor is. If you can give more information then a definite answer can probably be given.
The price for a new distributor can vary widely from £100 to £500+. There are some replacement parts available for some distributors eg vacuum advance units which could make the parts cost cheaper but again vehicle details would be needed. To fit a new distributor in terms of labour cost I wouldn't think it would cost you any more than 1 hours labour charge, around about £80 in most garages.
I just had a mechanic replace my distributor, coil, and rotor on a 94 camry. it cost 454 in parts. plus my labor was another 100
Check if there is spark and that you have properly installed distributor.
this is a common problem on these cars.....the distributor is likely the problem.
Two great places would be A forum for Nissan owners or at NISSAN.COM. You should be able to get answers and views from other Nissan owners and from the Nissan website you should be able to get info on certified repair shops.
I had a problem with the shift lock and the problem ended up being the brake solenoid. This is a brake switch that in forms the transmission that you have your foot on the brake. If you don't heat a click when you push on the brake, I would have that checked.
I have a 2003 Altima that while traveling under 35 mph might shut down. Nissan says it is the crank shaft angle sensor thingy. Nissan will repair for $215.00 or your local mech. will do it for $191.00...KNOWN problem but no recall!
A Haynes Nissan Sunny repair manual would have a wiring diagram for the fuel pump. Haynes is a leader in do-it-yourself car repair books.
around 500$-------------------by hdlim
there are tests that can be done to some of the components in the distributor, the first question that would have to be anwsered is what engine that you have in this car?
There are various places one can purchase a Haynes repair manual for a Nissan Micra. One place to look would be from a car retailer. One can also purchase it from Amazon or eBay.
I fixed the problem it was the air gap.
