Hi, i have a peugeot 206 gti (2000), it has always run perfect but the other day when i started it up the car started to splutter bad on tick over and when i reved it spluttered even more and loses power until i put my foot down on the pedal and it would rev like normal. After 30 or 40 seconds of running the yellow engine management comes on and the car seems to run fine.. the light stays on though until you turn the car off and back on again, but everytime you turn the car on the same happens.. Any ideas?

I had a similar problem on my 1.4. I know they're different engines, but could be a similar problem.
The only difference is that my engine light didn't come on.
I cleaned my idle control valve and also replaced the MAP sensor, and the problem has stopped.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for response, i have taken the car into the peugeot dealer to get a test done and they said that my oxygen sensor needed changing.. Today i have disconnected it and my car seams to be running fine, i am not going to drive my car like it is because i have been told it could break the CAT! While looking for this sensor i got told there was 2 of them(one before the CAT and one after it) i can only find 1 :S is it possible that the oxygen sensor after the CAT has been taken out as my exaust system is not the standard one? Thanks

I'm no where near an expert but it have you checked the Catalyst Converter? If it's blocked you'll know because you won't be able to do more that 40mph or you'll feel major power loss when driving.
