Why is my Almera running so badly?

The question
I have a 2004 Nissan Almera 1.5 hatchback. The car is losing power; it seems ok in fourth and fifth gears, but in first, second and third it's a joke, it just crawls along. What could be the problem? When put up on the diagnostic machine, nothing shows up.

Hi Breda,
This really sounds like a valve timing problem to us and that may not be detected in the diagnostics computer. Bring the car to a mechanic and ask them to check the timing. This could take them an hour or so.
Let us know how you get on
