The way to do it is hold the revs around 6.5k for about 1 minute, when the car's in neutral. If the first go doesn't clear it up, keep repeating the process. |

Just so nobody comes hunting for me with a pickaxe: post number 4 was obviously not serious.  Mental note: you never know how much some people may (not) know about cars.  |

Give her a good service and change the coolant I'd change the thermostat as well ? Bare in mind some days they are quick and some days they're not it's a pug thing  Other things to consider are coolant temp sensor, lambda, power steering sensor ? I'd also check your earth points as they can corrode ? Also check the cat and exhaust if they are failing they could be affecting the breathing of the engine |

@ Swiftyboi006...Given the fact you say the idle is dodgy and also sometimes the car holds back during acceleration I would hazard a guess that the lambda is giving up the ghost. Try unplugging it and then going for a short drive and see if there's any difference. If it's much better then replace the lambda. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
