Help!...Peugeot306 XSi engine idle/cut out problem!!!

[b68ap]

Hi all, could really use some guidance on this,

I have a 1998 peugeot 306 2.0 XSI and recently i have been problems with its idling.
The needle on the rev' counter oscillates between 300 - 1500 rpm,
and more often than not the engine just cuts out. The problem
occurs when the clutch is pressed down. This problem is intermittent,
it will happen on only a few days in a month, but when it does happen it will continue
throughout the entire day!

I have read similar problems on this forum, along with their solutions, but no one has
really come back and said that the problem has been fixed

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance guys!

if it's when the engine has been running, specifically when slowing down/stopping, it could be related to the egr valve (exhaust gas recirculation) which is linked to idle speed...

i also have 306 auto but it suddenly slows down and cuts out a then takes about 5 mins to start again it has been to garage for service before problem started and have had it back since they say no fault found

MAF sensor could cause this as well.

hi,

I had this same prob on my P97 306 XSi 2.0 8v -

tried everything - stepper motor, lambda sensor, nothing worked....

in the end disconnected battery, disconnected ECU waited for 5 mins for it to reset and never had the prob again!

hope this helps!

could be the throttle body ( in between the air filter and carb )
u can clean with electrical contact cleaner ( not always but at £5 a can its cheaper than throttle body

i had a similar problem with na 97 xn 1.4 mine used to cut out randomly some days it would be alright some days it would just die on me when revving it and idleing i had to coast it to junctions left foot brake and rev it hard to keep it from dyieng

i had ht leads allsorts remapping, diagnostic checks, ecu runs but the problem was the coil pack it need replacing so i went off and did it and it was perfect ever since

i have a similar problem with my 98 306 2ltr injection xsi when it reaches 80 degrees the car cuts out leave it for a couple of mins then it,s ok was told it was the heat sensors which i've changed but the fan still won't cut in to cool it down . can anyone help

as to the problem have you tried the set up on the carb ? also the lower heat sensor on the thermostat housing once the plug has been removed it speeds the engine up which maybe your problem
