can anybodt help me with a problem with my car as it has been going on for 10 months and its driving me nuts. my engine cuts out when decelerating just as the car is nearly stopped. some days it does it and other days it does not. my mechanic has checked the flexible hose from the air inlet to the carb,renewed the idle control valve,renewed a sensor (some thing to do with the manifold).peugeot says the cant advise anything else. there is only 30,000 miles on clock and i cant sell it to someone else as i would feel terrible.the car shows up as having no faults when put on the computer

i dont know what you mean

thank u gas monkey. strangely enough,if i remember not long after this problem started my car wouldnt start one morning and the mchanic came out to the house with a wee computer thingy and said it was the coil,went and got one and fitted it.do you think there is a connection or just a coincidence? my mechanic(not a main dealer)is fed up with trying to find the poblem and i cant afford to keep forking out 30 to 50 pounds everytime he fits a new sensor or valve. i havent a clue about cars as im a typical woman, drive it and put petrol in it!

th jvaughan:you dont need to be mean,i am a typical woman,i drive it and put petrol in it. havent had an accident in 25 years!lol

to gas monkey: thank you for the excellent information. my number on the windscreen is vf33ckfwb. do you think then the coil i had put on my car which probably wasnt a peugot make will stop working too

[audreyismac]

to gas monkey: sorry for keep asking you questions but you are the only person who seems to know anything about this stupid car of mine. why would the computer, if it was the ecu, show up no faults? it was a man with a computer in his van (from the biggest car place in my town).

to gas monkey: i cant thank you enough for the information. my car is going back into the garage tomorrow morning along with all the information you have given me.(printed off my computer)

there was no name on the coil pack so what was decided was that the mechanic would put a new throttle pot on the car first before i spend a lot of money on a new coil and an emc as my engine was ticking over at just 900 but the day after that the car developed a terrible thudding everytime you braked and a wee noise,like a wee bell ringing.it is something to do with the abs brake pump. so it is booked in for next week to get that sorted then i will go back to the problem of it cutting out.no bad for a car that just runs about the town,30,000 miles on the clock and never above 40mph.i will never buy another peugeot again!
