After changing the tappets my engine ran.much quieter. But after a while it became.noisy again and won't.seem.to idle.When you build the revs up and let off it won't stop at idle it just goes down and cuts out. Any ideas on what this could be? ________________________________________ 98 onyx black 306 Rallye53 Nissan Primastar silver (work horse) 58 black Volvo c30 sport |

I does it every time it has been started. Makes it impossible to drive. Ice has been cleaned. I've had my mates diagnostics on it and there are no fault codes. Surly if it was a sensor it would show? ________________________________________ 98 onyx black 306 Rallye53 Nissan Primastar silver (work horse) 58 black Volvo c30 sport |

Changed the stepper on mine recently which has solved the problem for me so far. When i was looking for solutions the power steering sensor was mentioned as a possible cause also if I remember. |

Just seemed odd it only happened since the tappers were changed. It's never happened before. ________________________________________ 98 onyx black 306 Rallye53 Nissan Primastar silver (work horse) 58 black Volvo c30 sport |

My first impression saysits the idle control valve because starts.and idles but when u add revs and when it goes down it didn't stop at idle.But surely it would have brought up a fault code. ________________________________________ 98 onyx black 306 Rallye53 Nissan Primastar silver (work horse) 58 black Volvo c30 sport |

it causes the engine to rev when used so I can see it causing an issue. ________________________________________ Ph2 Black GTI 6!EX black 6 owner But now a Black caged rallye owner Hunting for Go faster bits! SEARCH click here |

PAS sensor has contributed to loads of idle issues on these cars.  Simply unplug it and see what happens.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Thick cream in the oil cap?Definitely sounds like the HG on if's way out. Try this: Run the car up to temp and then switch it off. The next morning go outside, pop the bonnet and remove the rad cap. There should be zero sound. If you hear a 'hiss' or there is loads of pressure there then the HG is almost certainly going/gone. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

its not head gasket. Had a sniffer test done and its all fine.The cream in the cap i asumme then is due to condensation front sitting there for so long being started and stopped over the winter. The dodgy idle is still there, ive unplugged all the sensors and the only one which dosnt affect it is the ivc, would that indicate that is the problem? ________________________________________ 98 onyx black 306 Rallye53 Nissan Primastar silver (work horse) 58 black Volvo c30 sport |

Yup sounds like it. I had a sh*t idle and did the whole cleaning thing but it just came back a couple weeks later. Best of replacing it. |
