cutting out

[Wildy]

hi i wonder can anyone give me some advice ive had my 206cc about 4 months now and its been great but on a morning last few days when i start it up it fires straight up but struggles to keep going ,sumtimes it stalls i have to rev it but as soon as i get 2\3 houses away its fine ,and will be the rest of the day please help

[Wildy]

forgot to mention its a 1.6v and i have tried changing the heater temperature sensor and no change

When you say struggles to keep going, is it misfiring? Does the engine warning light (MIL) come on?

[Wildy]

hi no it doesnt misfire,and no warning light soon as i rev to try and keepit going for a few mins i pull away only a couple of doors and its ok for the rest of the day,but if it does stall sometimes im finding it hard to restart it other than that it runs great it only does this from cold first thing on a morning

[Capncol]

Hmm. If it hasn't been serviced recently, I would start there as it's never a waste of money if due. Cold start issues are actually a common problem by all accounts.
Some things to try.
Ensure correct grade of oil (Oil that's too thick will cause problems, hence the service suggestion)
Don't use NGK plugs, use Bosch
Try cleaning throttle body with carb cleaner (stepper motor may be sticking)

Sensors to try
Temp sensor
Crank position sensor.

Good luck & let us know what you find

[Wildy]

Ty will let you know full service been done no change,temp senser done no change,now ging to try Bosch plugs as I did use Ngk,finger crossed thanks jane also cleaned throttle no change

If the plugs make no difference, its looking like you need to put it on diagnostics and see if any codes are stored and look at live data to see if anything is amiss.

[Wildy]

had diagnostic done no stored codes? getting rattled now lol,did the same this morning start straight up,wont rev properly loses revs tries to stall, couple of doors away runs fine and till next morning repeat again ?im baffled

[Capncol]

Did you look at Live data?.

Hi it's a while since I've been on car still cuts out not straight away going to work first five mins passed 2 roundabouts got to third and cut out ,struggled to start then fine changed just about everything under the bonnet,senses, battery,throttle housing even coil packs,fuel pumps starting to get very expensive and still no change ,correct oil, new plugs u reccomended no codes up no lights I'm stumped now and at at loss what to do any more suggestions anyone ty

I just re-read the whole thread and I misread the 16V as 1.6. Is it 1.6 or 2.0? If 2.0, see threads about tappets.

Wildy, my 1.6 does this; not so badly in the summer or mid afternoon but very pronounced in the winter or on early summer mornings...within 10 yards of the drive it's struggling reardless of how much throttle it's got, but as soon as we are around the corner, WHOOSh & it's off. new plugs, various treatments,a service and a damn good head scratch achieved nothing. My solution was to jump in, star the engine immediately and then faff about with stereo/ipod, seatbelt and spy on the neighbours for a minute or two before setting off.

there is a little valve tucked up behind the header tank, this is a called an evap-valve.

basically what it does is, allows the fuel tank to breath, when it goes wrong it stays shut causing excessive fuelling problems, which in turn will cause bad starting, awfull fuel economy, lumpy revving,etc.

they are about 25 quid from dealers.

mine had this problem, sorted

[GrandadMonkey]

And what car do you have untafu6?

Hi all my wife's car has the same sort of problem but it has cut out a couple of times and on three times now its as if you have just disconnected the battery ie time and date go to default, it then starts and is ok,

This seems to happen on a cold morning the battery is only 6weeks old and I have been to my local Peugeot mechanic and his pc shows no faults found any ideas.
