#1: low response on 1.4e 206 Author: marko.rebric, Location: SerbiaPosted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 9:20 am ---- Hi guys, I'm new at this forum, and I registered to see what you guys think about my problem.
Anyway, I own 1.4i 75hp 206, produced in 2006.
Problem is, when I start the car, I hit the gas pedal and instead of making revs go higher, engine first makes them lower! So it goes like this: I start the engine, wait for a few seconds, then just for a brief moment I hit the gas and release it, and revs first go down (for, say, 150rpm) and THEN go up without problem. In some cases, if I hit the gas for too long, engine goes off! (when engine's cold)
Besides that, engine's responding too late in casual driving.. It's like it is hesitating.
My regular garage-man told me that perhaps it could be lambda sensor... Other than that, he has no clue. (no problems found on diagnostics whatsoever).
And I have found out that cleaning of stepper motor, throttle body and MAP sensor may help !!?? And maybe, ECU update..?
So, what do you guys think of it ?
Thanks

#3: Re: low response on 1.4e 206 Author: marko.rebric, Location: SerbiaPosted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 10:21 am ---- I'm not quite sure what makes throttle body electric, but I have "drive by wire" if that's what you mean...

Then you have an electronic throttle body

#6: Re: low response on 1.4e 206 Author: marko.rebric, Location: SerbiaPosted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 10:32 am ---- Yes Lee, I've seen what you did here www.206info.co.uk/Foru...39062.html .
But can it be that simple? And what's the real cause of the problem?
Thanks

A software bug in the engine ecu.
Peugeot main dealer time & get the software updated

#9: Re: low response on 1.4e 206 Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 11:16 am ---- Nothing wrong with fly by wire throttles if the software is written correctly.
#10: Re: low response on 1.4e 206 Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 11:22 am ---- Chances are cable is not going to fail though and its more responsive from what I have heard. Also its harder to identify a noise when you can't adjust the throttle from the engine bay.
#11: Re: low response on 1.4e 206 Author: marko.rebric, Location: SerbiaPosted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 4:08 pm ---- So, the bottom line is ECU update...? But cleaning other things I mentioned would do no harm ?
#12: Re: low response on 1.4e 206 Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 4:46 pm ---- Yes, I had a similar problem, visit to main dealer for an update and it was solved
