I have a 1997 P Reg 306 2.0 8V XSi. Runs like a dream, as fast as sh1t off a
shovel. but it has the dreaded idling problems.
I have now replaced with new parts: the stepper motor, engine temp sensor,
checked for air leaks, checked the MAP sensor, replaced the oxygen sensor
(which was giving the ECU a code). Since doing this, especially the oxygen
sensor it stalls a lot less, but it still stalls when starting from cold.
About one in four times I have to let it warm up to running temperature,
turn off the car for 20 secs or so, start it up then it seems to be ok. I
get no code, and the engine management light does not come on at all.
I have been informed that I may need a software upgrade. I understand that
only a Peugeot dealer can do this? I'd rather stick my nuts in a crocodiles
mouth to be honest. Can anybody else do a download, or is it Peugeot dealer
only?
Any help much appreciated.

not yet. I have read that the coil pack can fry the ecu. I'll check the coil
pack soon. cheers.

The coil pack spiking the ECU problem only occurs with the Sagem ECU /
Sagem coil pack combination, which I believe was only fitted to 1.1 &
1.4 Peugeots & Citroens in the late 90's.
