Engine splutters and cuts out when temprature gets to 90 deg
Hi there i have this problem with my 206 1.6 about a month ago my car just started cutting out when engine temp gets to about 90 degrees i have changed spark plugs, oil water and coolant, airfillter and oil filter and the problem is still there, it only happens when its gets to 90 degrees then i have to wait werever it happend for a while for the engine to cool down and then i can go for a few more miles then it happens again, but there is no problem with car untill it reaches that temp. Please please if you have any sugestions let me know

bad earth on fuel pump relay to ecu or the ecu is getting to hot and shutting the fuel off you need to to check for codes

Would it work if i took it to a garage and they remap the ecu?

garage will read the codes on the ecu to determin what could be the possable cause of the fault and remedy a repair

non pug dealer would be the cheapest, a garage near me would charge £20 for a diagnostic only free on any repairs over that amount, but make sure the place you take it to can do the diagnostic and what the charge is before anything is done.

Check the cooling fan circuit. If your fan, or wiring is shorting, it could feasibly draw enough amps so there is not enough left for the ecu. It's the only thing I can think of that would cause it to cut out @90 deg
