Hi
My girlfriend's 1996 (P) mk 2 (current shape) 106 has an incredibly annoying starting/low idle/stalling problem.
Occasionally it will start first time, but more often than not, it will start and then die instantly. When it is running, it will idle incredibly low and, if you blip the throttle, it will stall. Similarly, if you brake hard from a high speed and dip the clutch, it will stall.
So far I have done this:
replaced plugs/leads replaced crankshaft sensor cleaned out air filter housing + ajoining pipes and throttle body assembly (which was full of gunk)
When any of the above things have been carried out, the car will act perfectly for a day or so and then start acting like a fool again.
This leaves the MAP sensor (does it have one?) and the stepper motor. I have read that the stepper motor is a common problem on all Peugeots, but I want to hear some other people's thoughts on this problem before I shell out for one. The car has recently been plugged into a diagnostic machine and no errors showed up.
This is driving me and my girlfriend mad now but we are not prepared to take it to Peugeot and be ripped off for them to plug it in and tell us that its the gear stick at fault.
Your thoughts/suggestions on this problem would be much, much appreciated.
Mark
