#1: 206 1.6 xs hot start issues. Author: puzzled, Location: englandPosted: Mon Oct 03, 2011 2:10 pm ---- can anyone help?? girl friends 206 xs suffers from intermittent hot start issues, if the car is stopped for short periods when hot it will not re start until the engine temperature sensor has been unplugged. new sensor has been fitted and wiring checked. also fitted new coil pack, throttle position sensor and crank position sensor. any thoughts??????

Author: puzzled, Location: englandPosted: Tue Oct 04, 2011 1:15 pm ---- it cranks over no problem. if you floor the throttle it will try and start but fire really roughly but only whilst the throttle is floored, soon as you lift off it dies. after unplugging the temp sensor, it goes as if it never had a problem. such a wierd problem, i'm at a complete loss.

Back probe the ETS.
With engine hot, turn the engine off and have just ignition on. Check the voltage at the ETS by inserting a pin into the back of the ETS connector. Should have 5v supply and return voltage will depend on eng temp. Should be close to 4.5v on hot engine, closer to 1v on a freezing engine
If there is a high resistance there when engine is hot then return voltage will be low, ECU thinks it's a cold engine and puts too much fuel in, that makes starting difficult unless you put loads of air in with the throttle wide open and then it coughs and splutters as it clears the excess fuel
When you disconnect the ETS then ECU guesses from the inlet air temp what the engine temp is
If the ETS return signal is good then I'd back probe the ECU connector and see if that ETS signal is getting to the ECU

best answer yet, i'll give it a shot when i next have a day off as i haven't looked to the ecu yet(replacement cost!!!). will let you know the the result.
