Does it do it when its cold or hot or both?

Idle control valve would be near the top of the list

[v8will]

Probably an idle control valve issue. Some of the dedicated Citroen forums might be a good place to ask.

[tasha08]

it happens worse in the morning and it just does it all day hot or cold it just needs to stop

[GingerWizard]

See i told you, combobulator, a bit of carb cleaner around the various parts and wazam!

MAF or ICV is worth a poke.

[tasha08]

were do i find this idle control valve and im abit blonde whats MAF or ICV lol

[wackojacko]

it's a Citroen you're lucky it revs at all......

[tasha08]

[wackojacko]

Mass airflow meter- MAF

Idle control valve -ICV

[GingerWizard]

In a Haynes manuel.

See halfrauds/amazon/ebay for details.

This is good advice.

thanks gingerwizard

[GingerWizard]

I can't cope with a longer answer, but honestly its worth getting one, looking in the fault finding sections then booking it in aware of the problem (probably cost you less if you have a bit of nouse' )

[tasha08]

drdan007 big help very appreciated many thanks xx

idle control valve. Common problem on cable throttle engines (as opposed to 'fly' by wire)

[tasha08]

thankyou

[GingerWizard]
