Had to jump start my '05 206 this morning. After doing this the engine kept revving to around 4000 until I touched the accelerator when it dropped to 1000 revs then jumped to 2500, and keeps doing this. Do I need to reset the BSI or is there something I'm missing?

if its a petrol car it could be the throtle idle control stepper motor playing around,
i would try switching the ignition on and off a few times without starting the engine,
this might reset the stepper motor,
or did you conect/flash the jump leads up the wrong way to start with as this might upset the ECU

Thanks for the replies. The problem has now corrected itself.
Spoke with a Peugeot techie who says that the BSI wasn't woken properly by simply jump starting. I should have turned on the sidelights first to wake the BSI unit and then started the engine. That overcomes the problem.
Also, before disconnecting a battery everything should be turned off and 3-4 minutes should elapse before disconnection occurs. That way the BSI will shut down correctly.

This is true , however you must not open any door or anything for a few minutes or it will not shut down. That includes the bonnet on most models too (so you have keys in pocket ideally) and have the bonnet open, then wait a few minutes before disconnecting the battery.chemexhants wrote:Also, before disconnecting a battery everything should be turned off and 3-4 minutes should elapse before disconnection occurs.
