oil pump?

had a similar thing on a corsa and that's what i was told it was

nath.clio

motorised throttle body pal. do loads of them

also do lots of injectors, check they are sitting right and the o rings arent perished, water drops down from the screenwash nozzles and sits there oxidising so the injectors dont sit right

if thats the case, ask for the modified screenwash nozzles aswell as the injectors

That garage were it is hav said they think it might be a throttle body but I wasn't sure. So is it a common problem with the throttle body? Are they simple to change or best left to pros?

Afaik them C2s are all flyby-wire. The throttle pedal sensor could be fucked or maybe an idle control valve. 3 of the 4 saxo vts' i have/had, all had the icv problem!!

Typical french shite. But still love them

garage have given up now, changed, crank sensor, coil pack, throttle body.

im going to go down latter tonight a do a thing i have read called a power latch, it completely erases all faults and so the car has to re learn every thing. read it can help with faults like this

My son has one of these, the GT.

His had very similar problems and he told me that it was eventually traced to a faulty plug on the MAF sensor.

He said that it was not seated properly and had starting problems, cutting out and was using quite a lot of fuel.

It's not missed a beat since replacing the plug.

HTH

Could you unplug the MAF sensor and see if it runs better? Should go into limp mode then.

c123s1turbo

after looking, they dont have a MAF sensor its a MAP sensor. i changed it no difference.
i runs and idles but just will not rev, it just misses. its going to have to go to citreon tommorrow. but i realy hope that it catches fire tonight!

c123s1turbo

actually getting stupid now, been at citroen and even they dont know whats wrong with it!

its your fuel sender/ pump if you have limeted power when you throttle mine was because one small clip had broken off the pump. there is a service hatch under the bk pasenger side seat good luck pal
