207 1.4VTi cold running problem

Unread post by MarkandCath »

I have cold running trouble with the better halfs 207. It is a 2010 1.4VTi. It hunts at idle and runs on kangaroo juice until it warms up.

No codes but I think I have found an issue in Live Data. In the picture you will see the revs going up and down OK but the pressure in the manifold remains constant at -1270. It does move plus or minus 3 or 4 but basically it is a flat line. My understanding is this is measuring the vacuum in the manifold and that it should alter with the revs. Have I got that right?

I have cleaned both the throttle body and the MAP. Air temp looks OK. Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers.

You could unplug the MAP sensor and see if it improves as it puts the car in limp mode with a fault code.

Apart from this is the servicing up to date with spark plugs replaced as required ?
