Car dying

2001 Nissan Micra Activ
Car: Nissan Micra
Year: 2001
Variant: Activ
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
For a few days, my car has felt a bit underpowered. Yesterday as i was driving in second gear, as i got near the top of the revs, the car started kangaroo-ing. I changed to third and the same thing happened. After driving for a while the problem seemed to get better but it was still a bit spluttery. This morning, as we were driving, I went to change into third and the car kangarood again but also the battery light flashed briefly. A few second later the car kangarood then stalled with the battery oil and engine management light on. I tried to start it and it turned over but didn't start. I tried again and it started but felt like it was going to stall again. At first I thought it was the fuel filter but after this morning i'm not sure. Could it be a battery problem?

could be more than just a minor service but would recommend you have it plugged in to a diagnostics computer to pick up if any sensors have gone down or that are breaking down by a garage that you can trust
