Ok so cars all stripped caged and looking great
Fitted a pas delete kit and radiator
it has just had a full service
Ticks over ok
Accelerates well with standard ecu and super chipped ecu I purchased from a friend
Problem is it bogs down with light throttle
Checked ngk standard plugs and gap tried .7 and .8 no difference
Swapped plugs in case I had a faulty one with another brand which look like Bosch triple electrode units no difference
Extremely frustrated had the car since January just finished it and now running issues :-(
Any help would be appreciated please

I've had this on a couple of 306s, it tends to be:

ICV problem when rolling in gear and giving little/no throttle
TPS causing bogging down on part throttle
CTS causing bogging down until the car warms up

Does the problem go away when it gets warm?

Ahh sorry, right the ICV is the idle control valve, on the back of the manifol near the throttle body, has its own air pipe going to it.

The TPS is the throttle position sensor, that is on the bottom of the throttle body.

The CTS is the coolant temperature sensor, it is the green one on the thermostat housing.

This link shows the locations of the sensors:
http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=20477

This has some data about testing them:
http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=80340

I'd be surprised if any of the sensors from your HDi would work. If you don't want to go out buying random sensors try to see if someone local has spares or known working ones they don't mind you trying out perhaps?

Faulty coolant temp sensor can make the car run too lean when cold, then when the car warms up the fuelling is correct so it doesn't bog down.

Or, a faulty TPS can also make it run a bit lean, which would show itself more when it is cold than when it is up to running temperature.

Have you tried swapping or testing either of those sensors? Think the CTS is relatively cheap, not sure how much a TPS is.

The CTS you have to remove and immerse it in fluid of a given temperature.
For the cheap price that they are I'd just get another one as it seems temperature related.

ICV can be tested with a multimeter easily enough.

I think the car will run but slightly lean without the TPS plugged in.

I think the CTS is cheap enough from a peugeot dealership. 18-20pounds if I remember correctly.

I think unplugging the CTS would allow the problem to continue even if it was broken, as if it is the CTS, the problem is that it isn't telling the ECU to richen the mixture when it is cold.

Try to see if anyone local is willing to let you swap their spare sensors on briefly to see if it makes a difference so you know which to buy? Seems like the cheapest option.

Unplugging the CTS defaults the coolant value to -40 so will make the car run as rich as hell.

Blue is just the gauge. Brown is for twin-cooling fans.
Try elsewhere online, like eurocarparts/CP4L or even ebay if you do want one.

Brown is for the fan and blue is for the gauge.
