sounds like it could be an idle speed control valve problem. A lot of renault lagunas and fords have a similar problem. Sometimes cleaning it out with carb cleaner solves the problem.

I'm not too familiar with the layout on the 406, but the iscv is usually an alloy casting with a plug on it that is bolted on to the air intake system somewhere, and its normally dead easy to take off and either clean or change
