Possibly clogged fuel filter?

Peugeot Planet should report back some data.

I would consider when it was last serviced initially (air and fuel filter in particular) and see if they need replacing.

If they appear okay I would see if the issue might be related to a recent fuel fill up which could have been a bad batch.

Then I might move onto checking for air leak into the fuel lines by swapping some of them with clear piping.

From there I guess it would be more specific petrol injection related checks...the only petrol car I own runs on points so I won't be much more help!

Weak spark, maladjusted tappets to check first.

Remove and clean the stepper motor (idle control valve),its housing,and intake flap with carb` cleaner.If that does not solve the fault the motor may need replacing and the ECU reset with a Diag` tool.
