Intake Air Temp sensor could possibly be playing up?Sounds like it's temperature related. What other fuel do you run it on? ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

For the cost of the sensor I would just buy a new one mate. However, before you do that follow Welshpug's advice and do a plug chop and see what the criac is. If you have 3 decent plugs and one that's different it won't be that sensor that is causing it. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Ok, so now is the time to unplug the lambda and see if the issue disappears. I would not expect the lambda to be giving sensible inputs when the engine is not up to temp, however it is free and easy for you to try and you can at least eliminate it then Kev. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Did you find the answer to this problem at all ?All but one of my plugs are sooty, my misfire is intermittent, its has a popping sound too. Only misfires at low revs, once the very low revs do go up the rev range after its hesitation has passed doing a fast whip up rev range.. ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

No From what I've worked out from different forums/people with the same issue it seems its due to the lightened flywheel,the injector timing needs adjusting due to the big difference in the weight  Someone on here had there car chipped/re-mapped with the injector timing adjusted and it sorted the pronblem ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

Thats not good, iv not heard that fitting the light fly wheel means it has to be retimed. Does anyone have an idea where this sort of thing can be done?I didnt realise the ecu can be tuned, i thought it was set. ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

Not just any rolling road place then, do you have a contact website or number for them at all ?I would much prefer a local place in Leicestershire or near abouts that can sort it out for me. If the remaining tests im going to do dont sort my low rev hesitation problem im gonna get a mobile technition out to do a diagnostic, it will cost me £45 and saves throwing good money after bad imo. ________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

This is intresting as i get split misfire in the morning when cold, but goes after couple of seconds. But I do get hesistation/misfire between 30 mph when cold but goes when warm.could this be down to lightened flywheel? Would a remap sort this? |

At a guess get a diagnostic to be sure nothing else is wrong then if nothing shows up go get it remapped so injectors are set correctly.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

My supercharged 6 is almost undrivable at times when cold misfires and splutters and coughs etc. I've changed all 4 coil packs with a spare set and made no difference. It also did this before it was charged sometimes. I work for a Citroen Peugeot garage so our code reader accesses everything and there are no fault codes at all and all sensors are working perfectly so I can only put it down to the flywheel and crank pulley on the engine. ________________________________________ Black power baby!
