I had a similar problem with my Almera. Sounds like a faulty Engine Control Unit (ECU). My issue was poor cable connections of the battery, which disrupted the ECU's operation. What diagnostic steps have you tried?

When you say 'poor cable connections of the battery', can you be more specific? Which connections were problematic, and how did you fix it? I want to try everything before going to a workshop.

The negative terminal had corrosion and was loose, causing inconsistent electrical conductivity. Cleaning and tightening didn't fix it long-term. I had to get professional help. I'd recommend seeing a qualified technician.

Thanks for the advice. I consulted a mechanic and the cable connections of the battery were the problem. The repair cost 155€. Your insights helped a lot.
