Hi. I have Nissan Juke automatic. I was driving fine today for 50 miles, and then the last 2 miles of my journey the car seemed to have started twitching and jerking. Parked it to return in 20 minutes to find out it's starting, but not able to drive, as it twitches and the panel lights u Mechanic's Assistant: Just to clarify, what are the exact lights you're talking about? Front panel. It started fine now, but I'm kind of afraid to drive Mechanic's Assistant: What year is your Juke? 2012 Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Juke yourself? What have you tried so far? I'm not fixing it myself, no, just want to know what it might be. Called recovery assistant Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? No, thanks

Most common issue would be a failed coil pack did it have poor tick over.

Tick over? Not sure if i understand, sorry :)
Automotive Expert
When the car is stood still like at traffic lights for example.

when I stopped at the traffic light, it started twitching badly
Automotive Expert
Sounds like a coil pack when the recovery person arrives he should plug diagnostics in let me know the code.

Perfect, thanks. I'll let you know. He's coming in a minute.
Automotive Expert
No problem.

He found no error code, can it be something that doesn't show any code?
Automotive Expert
Odd what warning light was on.

I'm not quite sure, at least 3 of them were on, and they were all changing. Now it drives, and the recovery man has no clue
Automotive Expert
So does it seem to be back to normal now.
Automotive Expert
What is the situation now.

I drove back home fine, but I guess tomorrow I'll go to the garage to check the coil pack. Can it be that it's just starting to fail or it needs to show an error?
Automotive Expert
It would of or should of put a trouble code in the ECU they can fail when the engines gets worm.

Engine probably cooled down enough not to show the code, but i definitely couldn't drive, therefore called a rescue assistant
Automotive Expert
The garage will have better diagnostic software recovery people tend to just use OBD2 it is ok but can be weak in certain areas.

Ok, I'll ask the mechanic to check it more thoroughly, thanks.
Automotive Expert
No problem if you need me just get back to me regards Gavin.
