If its battery why would it run ok after being jumped off then suddenly cause this problem?

thanks for your help by the way fellas

this is going to sound silly but IF you battery does not have enough power in it the car cant charge up due to not enough power in battery to power the alternator and making the car run rough i also jumped mine off a 1.2 micra and it was ok for a little while
then it went funny again while helping someone out my car would run rough,fans was on,dash went all strange and could not drive it was hopping forward all due to lack of elec
try it hopefully its an easy fix for you

If the alternator is working as it should it will run with the battery disconnected. The battery is there to start the car, the alternator tops the battery up when running. A good alternator will give around 14v, less than this is no good.

I suggest looking at other causes and eliminating them one by one.

Checked plugs, cleaned them off and put them back in, replaced fuel filter, fuel pump working.

Can't get at crankshaft sensor to check so running out of ideas.

Looks like i'm gonna have to call someone out to it.

Been told this could be a cracked inlet manifold, is this an expensive job?

[stamford]

Are we talking about the alloy ones from head to plenum or the plenum as that can be called a manifold by some. If it is the alloy ones then they can be picked up on ebay second hand or from someone on here, cost will be in labour time, 2 hours should be enough to do that.

Just been told that this will cost me around ?600 to ?700 to fix
Needs a new inlet manifold and the old one has been welded.
I am now offering this car up for spares or someone who has the time or inclination to work on the car.
I don?t have the knowledge to do this myself.
I can?t break the car as I have nowhere to keep it so anyone who wants it would need to take it as a job lot and as it is.
Other than the inlet manifold there are no issues, it?s in lovely condition, great tyres exhaust etc, it would make a great buy for someone.
Best reasonable cash offer will secure the car

I am located in Hull so obviously buyer will need to collect

Shame it has come to this. If you were nearer I would fix it for you, seems like you have been stitched up tbh there. Just wish I had the spare cash as I would buy that off you as a project if you are serious about getting rid.
