306 Gti - Engine Cutting out...

Try this site

It could be the ignition module playing up.

I had the same problem with my wife's 306GTI. A dealer redownloaded the ecu with the latest mapping form Peugeot and this cured the problem.

Good luck

Hi Ben, have seen a similar prob with 306 2.0 XSi which turned out to be the idle control stepper motor (about 92 quid from the dealer). You may get one from a breakers for less than a tenner. It is the a small unit just below the throttle cable assembly and is attached by 2 star screws which are a bit tricky to removed but can be done with patience. You may find that after replacing it, the engine may idle high for a minute or so until the ECU works out what is going on.

Hope this helps

ttry changing the idle stepper motor. These are quite expensive, about 90 pounds new but can be got from a breakers for approx 5-10 pounds.

It sits just to the left of the fuel injection system/throttle housing.

Strangely enough I got a similar thing happen to me today, the car just died when stopping at junctions or lights. There was no judder or anything, the car just went dead. Mine started immediately and on the move worked fine, I was able to go through all the gears ok. I parked it up and it ticked over fine. I've tried it since and it's been fine. I have a 306 XSI N reg. Please post a message if changning the part Paul mentions below works.

Turns out the idle motor needed a good clean, mine was pitch black and after cleaning it and running a cloth around the slot it fits into my car now works fine (ticks over more smoothly than it has in a long time).
