The car was hard to start from cold - other posts from the group said it was the coolant sender or a fault with the Idle stepper motor - so I took both off and cleaned (or banged lol)
Now the car started great last night - now its revving to the roof!!! any ideas? or is it time for a new stepper motor?
Sorry, I don't know anything about cars but I am also a owner of a
106. How old is your car anyway? I don't have any problems you experienced... May be it's time to get a 206 :) I am getting one this year and I am so much look forward it!!! :))
1) My old toyota MR2 (MK1) revved like mad at idle when the temperature sensor in the radiator broke
2) My last 406 would stall or not start when the idle stepper motor started seizing. While in the garage, they did a cycle test on it to see if cycling it would un-seize it abit. They sold me to try it and it idled at about 3500 rpm
If you put the ECU into test mode and do a actuator test, you will probably hear the stepper motor grinding if its knackered
As probably the weakest link in all peugeots is the stepper motor (they ALL fail) I'd suggest that.
BTW if you need to get a new stepper motor don't get it from peugeot as they are something like £125 + £40 fitting
I got mine from a local independant for about £35 plus £10 fitting
