#1: Car cutting out when slowing down! Author: aidan117, Location: Portsmouth, UKPosted: Sat Apr 20, 2013 6:43 am ---- Hey Guys,
I dont know if this has already been posted, but i thought it would be easier to say exactly whats happening to my car rather than try and find one doing similar things.
The problem is, for no apparent reason and without warning, my car will just cut out when slowing down for junctions, roundabouts, and stopping etc. It will normally do when im slowing down past/around 20mph and only happens when im breaking. The Engine cuts and i lose power, everything, including power steering which isnt helpful when turning into a road.
I get no warning lights before hand it just happens, like its a stall. itll happen for a whole journey every couple months then it will be fine no problems whatsoever. nothing. then a couple months or so will pass and Then without warning ill be slowing and itll do it again. I need some advice as to whats wrong with it really if anyone can help? also when i start up again if i dont immediatly apply lots of accelaration itll just cut out straight away again.
Someone Please help, Thanks

And yes if I use the throttle it doesnt cut out but if I dont and just turn it on a leave it idling it cuts after a couple of seconds ?

Can sometimes get away with cleaning it and resetting it but they do need replacing occasionally.

Author: aidan117, Location: Portsmouth, UKPosted: Mon Apr 22, 2013 6:05 pm ---- Sorry for delay in replying guys, thanks for help not sure when the fuel filter was last changed as ive only had the car 6 months and it hasnt been done whilst ive had it. And okay will look into the idle control valve route, any guesstimates on what this would cost?
cheers

Almost certainly this. I had this problem a little while ago, a bit of carb cleaner on this and the throttle housing - and I've not had a problem since.

Author: eddie206, Posted: Tue Apr 23, 2013 6:22 am ---- Ive had this trouble for ages now but it hasnt happened throughout this crappy snow/cold weather weve had for around 3 or 4 months,just the last week with the weather warming up the damned fault has returned? Im curious to see if it might be a summer/winter setting on the engine intake etc. if they have one??? Mines a 2002. 137gti and if anyone could tell me where to change the winter/summer setting(if it has one?)that would be of great interest thanks guys...
#11: Re: Car cutting out when slowing down! Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Tue Apr 23, 2013 12:21 pm ---- There is no summer or winter settings. If yours cuts out when slowing down and out of gear then yours will probably have the same problem too.
#12: Re: Car cutting out when slowing down! Author: ra5ax, Posted: Wed Apr 24, 2013 3:56 pm ---- I believe this is a Peugeot issue check out this BBC article
also have a look through this site page fair bit on it I have the same issue and will be calling peugeot tomorrow if its what ours ts doing it needs sorting and should be free.
#13: Re: Car cutting out when slowing down! Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Apr 25, 2013 6:19 am ---- ICV valve problems don't flag up the ECU light or any fault codes.
#14: Re: Car cutting out when slowing down! Author: aidan117, Location: Portsmouth, UKPosted: Sun Apr 28, 2013 1:29 pm ---- So what would you guys say the best way to approach this is?
#15: Re: Car cutting out when slowing down! Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Apr 28, 2013 2:39 pm ---- Remove it, clean it and the hole it sits in. Very simple.
#16: Re: Car cutting out when slowing down! Author: eddie206, Posted: Tue May 14, 2013 7:30 am ---- This is a common fault on these but as for getting peugeot to rectify for free you have more chance of eating a nine course meal in the sun bathed streets with michael jackson...thats unlikely to happen incase it wasnt obvious. Haha.
Getting a really good carb spray cleaner will make the icv cleaning better as it says above and in the how to guide for this task...but it also says there is a certain hole or component that must be handled carefully...just see the how to guide.

The whole unit (with the connector into it) controls the throttle pane so that is the stepper in there.
There is no sepperate ICV with small stepper like cable setup.
