Hi,
for several weeks I have always this strange problem:
When I get my car (306 1.4, built in 1995) back from garage it works fine for several days, then one day with light problems (bumpy idle running) and after this I have huge problems (bumpy idle running then cut off). In the past we don't what may cause this problems it was just strange. But last week they made an exhaust test and it fails - they changed the lambda probe 3 weeks(!) before... So they said: ok, we will built in a new lambda-probe. Exhaust test was okay (co: 0.00, lambda:
1.07) and everything was fine for 4 days and today I got the first signs of the same problems: bumpy idle running up to cut off. I drove to the garage again, they made a exhaust test again: didn't pass.What the hell may cause this? This must be the injection-electronic, I fear... Can somebody tell me, what may cause this problems? Hopefully it's some cheaper stuff... Lord, I pray it's not the injection-electronic :(
A sidenote: For several month (I have the problems with my cars since september
2003), the controllight for the lower-beam headlight was only glowing after several minutes (the headlight was on, but the controllight not). I never really worried about this, because I thought it's just a defect cable, but after I got the car back on monday, the controllight was glowing always when I turned the lower-beam headlight on. Even when it was cold (last night -15° celcius). But when I started to drive back from work today, the controllight was _not_ glowing, after I turned the light on. I saw this and thought "oh my god... the engine problems again?" and it was so: bumpy idle running up to cut off. I know this sounds strange, but can this be related in any way with this engine problem?Thanks for any hint... Jens
