02 1.5 Engine stalling on ignition - ruggedtoast
Recently I've noticed the revs dropping off after I start the ignition, and then slowly returning to a normal idle.

But now this has just aggravated to full out stalling. It looks like I can still get it going but its taking several attempts for each start.

Any ideas? It seems fine once its going.

Your problem sounds similar to mine. I think it's the timing chain but you need to make sure it is.
A stretched "timing chain" is a common problem in Nissan Almeras. It's a RENAULT part that after so many miles it stretches which causes the engine to stall and not start.
Nissan is refusing so far to own up and replace their faulty part.
By the way it cost between £900-1000 to replace a timing chain!
