Engine firing issue whilst driving and using left indicator (only) what could be the fault?

Recently my Nissan Primera 2002 P12 has taken to ignition firing issues whilst the left indicator is in use the car bunny hops, and nearly stalls on prolonged left signal use, once left indicator is switched off there is no longer a problem and the car accelerates perfectly fine. This does not happen when using the right indicator and all garages I have been too run diagnostic machine and keeps coming back clear and fine. Ran P12's own engine diagnostic and comes back clear as well. getting concerned and annoyed as all "professional" garages just run a diagnostic machine and say it's perfectly fine and send me on my merry way. Have run Red-ex through the system, replaced air-filter and checked sensor, checked exhaust sensor, battery check and all fuses check to ensure not loose or blown still posits has done so for the last 2000 miles, last full service and MOT was 2500 miles ago. Any ideas, please?

Have they checked for a short in the steering column where the signal switch and ignition wires may be touching or shorting together.

Testimonial: "No that hasn't been looked at will look further into that, unfortunately everyone just wants to plug a machine in and wait for the on board computer to tell them what is wrong with it. All I've been told is that until an error code comes up there's nothing to be done (not convinced by that O.o)"

    Crank the car and turn the wheels to the left sharply while in a parking lot "without' the signal on and see if it tries to stall. Need to know this to eliminate the steering pressure switch.

    Sorry. I know dealerships want the quick way out and diagnostics take time unfortunately. I figure the turn signal wire may be shorting into the ignition circuit wire and causing it to misfire. I'm studying on the wiring diagram trying to understand why.

What are the effects of a faulty crank sensor on a nissan QG18 engine

what a great question!
no year told, no country , no car told just raw engine
QG18 comes in many types QG18DD,,1999 to 04
QG18DE, 1999 to 2007 QG18DEN is the natural gas version?

lacking all key facts.
I go GENERIC (full bore)

the answer is super simple..
causes spark misfire. (and scanned PCM see P03xx errors DTC)

loss of engine horse power. and wasted fuel.
or engine dead. fully and no spark at ALL.

why worry it at all.??? if scans are clean this is it if CKP does not trip CKP errors DTC

must we guess all of these and if yes why?
and more,

The QG18DE is used in the following vehicles:
the CKP and CMP sensors are the base line inputs for all spark and fuel injections and timing and timing advance of spark
if spark dies the PCM cuts all fueling dead( no crash&burns)

How to change fuel filter on 2003 nissan primera

2003 Nissan Primera, the P12 engine runs on chain NOT belt!!! You don't need to change the chain unless in very very unlikely case the chain snaps.

Hi all, Nissan Primera, P12, 2002 is over revving, especially when idling. Sprayed the MAF sensor and changed the air filter but that didn't make any difference. It also uses lots of petrol sinc

Sounds like a vacuum leak or a bad intake manifold gasket. Take engine cleaner and spray the gasket where the intake manifold bolts onto the motor while running. If there is any change in the idle, your gasket needs to be replaced. Spray all vacuum hoses too. This is the best and cheapest way to test. Let me know how you do please
