Sorry if my english is really bad, but talking about engines in english is
not my strong side since I`m from norway. Our Xantia Exclusive 1999 has
started to go from 900 to 3000 rpm when stopping at red lights, and when
shifting gears. It`s like you`re using the gas pedal up and down. It also
"dies" when not pushing the gaspedal far enough down. It doesn`t seem to be
the battery, cus all the lights, stereo etc runs on full power... As certain
as you have to pay taxes, it ran just fine when we had it at the garage....
Could it some automatic choke thing not working properly??? I have NO idea
about cars, just how they look, how cool they are and how much power they`ve
got..lol.

Any of you experienced this or know what it could be?

Frank..wishing you all a fantastic christmas. I`ve really enjoyed reading
many of the post in this group.

What engine? Petrol, diesel?

No. Diesels have never had "automatic chokes", and fuel injected petrol
engines don't, either.

I'd guess that it might be an air leak, if it's a petrol.

It`s petrol, 1,8 litre. 117 bhp. That\s about as much as I know about the
engine..lol.
