Peugeot 206 1.4 2000 - Intermittent stalling #

Posted by Fiachra Purcell on April 14, 2010, 6:19 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2000
Engine Code or CC *: 1360cc
( Optional ) ECU Type: Marelli
( Optional ) Scanner Used: DEC superscan

Sometimes the engine just keeps stalling every time you release the accelerator pedal. This might not happen for a week but then it could happen non stop for a week. The car always restarts no problem. It feels like the idle actuator is not working. There is no pattern, it just comes and goes. The idle steps are 60/70 when everything OK but reach 100/110 when it is in stall mode. I have read all the issues about coils and ECU's but am slow to shotgun parts at this car. The coil and bosch plugs were changed last year. The problem did not start for another 7 months. The problem has only occurred for me twice and both times stopped happening within 2 minutes. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Fiachra

Hi Fiachra,

In the absence of any fault codes and assuming the emissions are ok, my first basic step would be to thoroughly clean the throttle body and plate. I assume the car runs perfectly ok apart from this problem.

Does this occur when the vehicle is stationary or only when coming to a stop? If it is only when driving, have you got vehicle speed showing in live data? Had this on a 307 last month and it was a dead speed sensor in the gearbox. The Peugeot parts man tried to convince me it didn't even have one and that it used the ABS info. You wont have the seat belt warning beep either if you drive the vehicle with the seat belt unfastened if this is the problem. Pretty sure the 206 will work in the same way. Probably wont be your problem if it cuts out when you just rev the car but I wasn't sure from your post.

Thanks for the replies. I have already cleaned the throttle housing and idle control valve. The emissions are fine even when it is acting up. It can stall when stopped also but you have to encourage it by going full lock on the steering as the revs are dropping. It behaves exactly the same way VW's do when they need a throttle body clean and reset. The only difference is it only happens sometimes, mostly behaving itself.
Got a dealer to do an ECU update.
Seems to be OK now.
Thanks Fiachra.
