Hi All,
Wondering if you guys can shed some light on this for me.
I own a ‘95’ Peugeot S16. Initially when I bought it the car ran like a dream but recently it’s had a hard time idling.
The issue happens when it’s warmed up mainly but not every day. I’ll be at a stop and if I’m sat too long the check engine will come on, as soon as I let off the clutch it’ll lose power as if it wants to stall.
I pull the clutch back in give her a rev and try again and she’ll take off no problem and then the engine light will flick off.
The confusing thing is this only happens when warm and after I’ve filled the car up. After running the car out to the 3 quarter mark the issue disappears.
Some previous history on the car as initially I bought this dirt cheap at 2k. It came with no service history so I gave it a service (fluids, filters etc), replaced the valve cover gasket and had the shop change the belts for me.
I’ve had it run through a diagnostic when the problem initially started and the code was apparently for the O2 sensor but once replaced the same code kept appearing and I was told it didn’t affect the drivability.
And lastly the fuel pump died so I had that replaced along with the fuel filter.
I’ve browsed multiple forums and the only things I’ve yet to check are my ICV and possibly clean my injectors.
Appreciate any help and sorry for the long incoherent ramble.
