Citroen Saxo Vts
Can anyone help!!!! I have a 1999 Citroen Saxo VTS that is causing me grief [:(!]. It has a bad idle problem to the point where it almost stalls and she idles really lumpy. I have fitted new spark plugs, airfilter, exhaust and stepper motor (idle control valve as some garages call it) and nothing has cleared it up. Any suggestions would be gratefully received

Check and clean MAP sensor. Not too sure where it is on the Saxo VTS but it as it's the same engine (I belive) as the the Xsara VTS (1.8 8 valve) then it's on the drivers side on the engine bay. a small unit about the size of a match box with a rubber pipe going in to it . There could be a build up of oil vapour inside. Clean using braks cleaner not carb cleaner as this is a little too harsh. Then let the unit dry out on a radiator over night with some paper towel under it. Re fit as this should help.

Think it's held on by a couple of philips screws.
