Can you find the stepper motor?
I'm sure something is wrong with the stepper motor. I've heard people saying it can be cleaned and that can restore it.
I want to do this but need help finding it. Haynes manual is useless to be frank.
Here's a pic can someone point it out?
BTW, It's a 1.4i xsara
Thanks
Jamie

Yes it was c12. It was dirty and sticky so I cleaned it good with carbon cleaner. But sadly there is no real difference.
I wanna state the symptons and see what you guys think.
The car seems to rev high and I have to be accelarating over 50 to use 5th gear.
30-40 mph seems a bit slow for 4th
It's jerky and defo doesnt like being at low revs.
If I'm in 1st or 2nd and not using the accelarator it will speed up then slow down and speed up etc.
The accelarator is real sensitive, just touching it sends up the revs
When depressing the clutch to change gears there's a jump up in the revs.
some eratic idling.
The problems tend to arise once the car is warmed up rather than cold.
thanks

Jamie, did you also clean out the hole where it goes? This also gets gummed up, whilst you are under the bonnet with the carb cleaner in hand it is a good idea to take off the inlet from the throttle body (D/E 13) and give the insides of the throttle body a realy good clean, also the pipes (H16, J14, H11) could allways benifit from a clean up through the insides.

i did not mean carbon cleaner what i ment by carb cleaner is carbureter cleaner,as this is a very strong solvent,also i think that C12 is the cold start auxilary air supply valve,in wich case it dose benafit from a good clean with the said carb cleaner,but your prob sounds like an air leak in the induction somewhere,maybe a vaccum pipe,i had very similar simptons with my CX2,5tri AUTO harsh surging at junctions and if i knock it out of gear thje revs would shoot up,i found a vaccum pipe split
