Finally an end to my running problems........

On Tuesday the car just wouldn't move and wanted to stall......

Turns out that the engine was running on 2-3 cylinders...

New coil pack fitted, like having a new car now..... Sorted !!

Hi again, Have changed the temp sensor now (3 days ago) and the problem is still there... Euro car parts supplied the new sensor of the shelf, well done for that.. Now, I wonder what's next to change......? I have cleaned the idle air control valve but wonder if I should get a new one.... Trouble is...

***UPDATE*** Hi guys.... Got my 406 back from Autosolutions here in Reading..... Still not fixed !!! I will now type in exactly what is written on the invoice.. I just what some of you on here to give me your opinions as to their diagnostics please.. Here goes.. "Investigate cause of erratic engine ...

Given up now....

Booked in Autosolutions Peugeot, Reading for the 14th April..

Maybe an end is in sight, £100+vat for diagnosis and 1st hours labour.

If they track it down I'll post what it was/is..

Follow up to my last post..... Took out the stepper and it was covered in carbon, cleaned as new and put back in... That was Saturday and used it for work today, still the same.... What a shame !! Even after resynch and 30 min drive... Its like a missing every now and again only at idle. Seems a lit...

Is this exactly the same for a D9 ? I have a 2001 2L petrol GTX which has had a lumpy tickover for ages now... See my other posts.... Its just been serviced and has had 2 shots of Redex and still coughs at idle, always starts well though and never stalled. Out of desperation I was going to give the ...

Any joy with this Kyle ?? I have like a misfire at idle and sluggish acceleration.... All seems a little better once engine has warmed up. Just disconnected my Lambda sensor and upon started it nothing appears to have changed. I'll run the car for a few days without it to see what happens. I have po...

Hi, Was there no solution to this ? My 2L petrol GTX D9 (47k) has the same problem.... Almost like its coughing only at tickover rpm. It can be hesitant pulling away but once above 1000-1500 rpm its fine. Seems to be a little smoother once the engine reaches normal running temp. I had the "Anti Poll...

Hi all, I started the car on Saturday (cold morning) and the engine management light lit with a beeping from the dash. Also in the MFD the "Anti Pollution Fault" was displayed. I drove the car to work this morning and as I start the car I get one beep from the dash and a quick flash on the MFD but t...

Cheers guys....

If the car is only supposed to run one foglight then thats fine by me...

I just thought I had a faulty one thats all and a car this size would have two working units.

Never mind.

Thanks again for the prompt replies.

Hi again all, This is gonna be a dumb question me finks but I gotta ask.... My rear passenger side foglight wasn't working, so during my lunchbreak today I thought I'd have a quick look. I get into it easy enough and guess what.... No bulb there..... So I try both of the spares I keep in the boot......

Hmmm,

I have auto wipers on mine but not auto lights....

BINGO ! All done... It was the microswitch on the clutch pedal. Screwed the switch in a few more threads and now alls fine. Used the cruise on the way home from work today for a quick test due to the traffic, I felt the pedal being taken away from my foot at 50mph. Now I know why I always join the f...

It's looking like the cruise control doesn't work.... I gave the car a run from J11 to J12 on the M4 yesterday and fiddled with the cruise..... No Joy. I've had a quick look on this forum and think my best bet is to look at the switches on the brake and clutch pedals. The green LED lights up on the ...

Cheers guys thanks for your comments...

I'll have a fiddle with the cruise at the weekend and see if it works.
