My 6 has idling problem and almost misfire when i step on the clutch to change gear to N in slow speed.

It happens when air-con was switch on.

Sensors - MAP, ICV, lamda, coolant temp ECU, coolant temp Gauge & cooling fan switch have been replaced still no joy Dunno

Any idea? Erm?

The idle speed should increase when air-con is on.

Try cleaning the ICV.

When you run the air-con it puts more load on the engine.

Have a look at the lambda sensor, if this is faulty it may well not like idling or low speed when there is an increased load on the engine.

Try unplugging the power steering pressure sensor from the line.

The function of this component is to up the revs when it senses more load on the engine with the use of steering at idle. If you already have more load on the engine with the air-con it has been known for this component to cause random stalling issues, and this could well be the cause in your case.

Especially given your location, I'd recommend buying a peugeot planet kt and seieng if it finds any errors.

There are no electrical sensors associated to the clutch on these cars. No

If unplugging the PAS sensor has solved the idle cutting out I would say you need a new sensor. Yes

Mine gave up the ghost a while back and its been unplugged ever since LOL I think I'll throw a new one in for peace of mind. Where's the best place/cheapest place to get a new power steering sensor?

i think i might need one of these, its like my car has no resistance to stalling sometimes and it gives up when you lift the clutch a little too far without reving a bit
