Nissan Micra 1.0L - 52 plate - Engine management light and car don't start - devang

I have Nissan Micra 1.0L - 52 plate since a year. From last few days it is giving problem of not starting up. When I start car from cold it starts up with normal engine noice. It runs for few miles and stalls at some point when engine RPM is less. Attempting starting the car at this point, Engine management light turns on and car don't start. There is no spark from spark plug. If I wait for engine to cool down for about an hour car starts back normal and it runs again for few miles and repeats the same. Engine management light stays on after car starts up. If i drive 2-3 short intervals Engine management light turns off it self. I have tried replacing spak plugs and HT colils but no luck.I would highly appreciate any help regarding this.

Possibly a crank sensor failing as it warms up , but also check the fuses in the fuse box behind the grill,near battery they suffer with water ingress and corrode ! not badly, but enough to cause intermitant problems

Try to clean / replace air filter. This is very easy.

It's never the air filter.

Throttlebody / metering unit. Very common failure.
