206 1.4 s reg stalling problems

[andyjjoyce]

hello people am in need of your experienced brains, please help

my girlfriend has a 206 on an S plate which has been running a bit way ward on idle. it will just cut out at junctions or when the clutch is dipped in traffic.

my first thought says it could be the idle control valve but im not sure if it has one or where it is or what it looks like. (i only came to this conclusion as i used to have a vectra that used to do the same thing every so often. i used to clean it up in petrol then it would be fine) im not sure if the peugeot is the same??

please help as im obviously supposed to know about these things

thank you

andy

hi its the idle control valve otherwise know as the tps
it is at the back of the throttle body and is held on with 2 small screws that has t small torx resessed head you can clean them but its better to replace
