peugot 306 revving sometimes
Having probs with my peugot 306xl L reg. When starting up sometimes revs constantly without feet being near the pedals, pulling away from junctions shudders and slows down as if there is not enough power. Garage had a look said it could be something to do with the automatic choke but not convinced can anyboby help.
Well it won't have an automatic hcoke as such, being fuel injected, but of course the injection system will make the car run a bit richer when its cold, like a choke would.
You don't say what size engine what you have in your 306 but on most models the problem you describe is usually caused by a sensor being faulty.
The likely candidate is the water temperature sensor which tells the ECU water (engine) temperature so that the ECU can richen the mixture for cold starting/runing. The other sensor which can also cause this erratic revving when cold is the MAP sensor.
If you can give some more details (engine size) and whether the car "clears itself" when its fully warmed up we may be able to help further. If the problem is still there with the engine hot, may be the stepper motor at fault.
