My car has just passed its MOT so have good emissions, however it has just started uneven running just below 2000RPM and on idle.Any ideas on if a sensor is at fault? ________________________________________ S Reg Diablo standardsSpec SORNEDR Reg Nile standard spec written off then repaired X Reg Astor in need of TLC R Reg Nile to restore Set of Lions to fit. |

I've changed it recently and also repaired the ECU loom to it.Why would it affect running above idle? ________________________________________ S Reg Diablo standardsSpec SORNEDR Reg Nile standard spec written off then repaired X Reg Astor in need of TLC R Reg Nile to restore Set of Lions to fit. |

Look for air leaks at the intake manifold and the throttle body ________________________________________ BLACK RALLYE - phoenixWHITE RALLYE - valliant http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history |

Unplugging the lambda sensor forces the ECU to switch to open loop fuelling so it doesn’t really help to conclusively prove the fault is with the lambda sensor. The fault could be elsewhere and the change in fuelling masks the problem, plus the recent MOT pass would suggest the lambda sensor is working correctly.Throttle position sensor (and wiring) is also a potential culprit for hesitation, engine speed stability and stuttering issues. Oh, and try an ECU reset... while there's a lot of old wives tales about false benefits of doing this it does do one useful thing - it resets the ICV back to it's home position when the ignition is next turned on. The true ICV position isn't tracked by the ECU. It's just assumed to be in the last position the ECU remembers. ________________________________________ Rich |

I did change the TPS when I last had idle problems and found the ICV wiring faulty. I'm beginning to suspect the wiring as I can't read ECU fault codes either. Anyone got a spare engine loom for an early phase 2? ________________________________________ S Reg Diablo standardsSpec SORNEDR Reg Nile standard spec written off then repaired X Reg Astor in need of TLC R Reg Nile to restore Set of Lions to fit. |
