Hey all.
I have a 406 break from year 2000 and its a 2.0 petrol engine. its the one made from 1999-2000
Been using the car now for 2 years. When i bought the car i had only 1 time per winter the problem it woun't start. But now its nearly every day.
What it does sometimes is it starts up and the motor limps like 1 chamber isn't working. But it starts up(-20c cold outside).
Now it ain't starting anymore... the battery is fine(tested it) it just turns the engine... its like i am missing a compression button like in old tractors(u turn the igniton the motor runs and then u push the button and it stats).
My car was at a diagnostics stand. They said all is fine.
Before that i have changed lambda,spark plugs,motor temp. sensor,oil + filter,petrol filter,air filters.

Oh and if anyone knows about ignition wires near the car key place. I could use some help how to but the car to start from a button not a key. But i don't know what wire is what and how to i connect em.

Am grateful for any help.

Do you mean the coolant temperature sensor, oil temperature sensor, or idle air temperature sensor?

its the one what shows engine temp so it should be the coolant one.


I also have a fuel usage of 10l/100km allways.

Does your car have the emergency stop button mounted on the strut top mount? Try pressing that and seeing if it helps.

theres a red button under the hood. u mean that?

the car starts up when i wasted my battery and half of another battery.
also theres some problems when i push the gas pedal the motor makes banging noises.. just when i push it when the rpms are at ńormal
