Well, the other week when it cut out again the ECU light came on just before it died so when I got it back home I did a fault code check and got #33, which is the afm. So I swapped that with my spare one and so far no cutting out but the old gal is still slow to start when warm and jumpy.

I already have a guy at work after the engine, ecu and loom for his 205

I hope you said no!!

Not too far from me. Wasn't a 16v then?

About time they featured it again. They've had the 405 Mi16 in there lots, which pleases me obviously.

Still arsing about gathering parts to try but I would just like to add: Kangeroo'd again today once it got up to temperature. Very violently like I'm jumping on and off throttle. But as soon as I put foot to floor it stopped. This is very intermittant in nature - must have been a week ago it last ha...

Oh ok Alan, you're probably right. Even so it's a silly design isn't it!

On the 405 the ecu is mounted onthe inner nearside wing in a small area between the interior of the car and the bulkhead. This area is not sealed in any way therefore it will fill with water when it's raining or if like me you use alot of water when washing the car. There is a drainhole that leads i...

Yeah one of the metal bits in my HT leads has shifted. Getting on for 5 years old though so I must replace them.

But I didn't mean "per cylinder", I meant one spark per any 4 of the cylinders. A few years ago when the b@stard wouldn't start I noticed the "K" light wouldn't be illuminated. I did a few checks back then and discovered a loose connection on the main relay's socket. Did my best ...

Yeah I've heard in several places to stay away from anything other than the Bosch bits.
Gonna make a vid later.

Bit of news... I just pulled all the HT leads off and stuck some spare spark plugs into them and tried to start the engine. Did I get sparks? Yes - BUT each plug sparked in firing order as if the engine was turning over about 20rpm! What does that indicate? (when the starters turning engine over it'...

Wow! That's a good reply! One of the problems with testing various things is that of course the testing has to be performed when the engine is playing up. Though letting the engine get hot and then leaving it for an hour is usually a good time for the slow starting to appear. One thing I might do is...

A few nights ago I made a short journey into town. The engine started and drove fine for 5 minutes and then midway through warming up it started missing badly for a few minutes and then it completely died! So, I restarted her. And it was ok.... The next day I was a bit I miffed. But I found the TPS ...

The Peugeot parts disk shows a gasket for the alloy sump for the 405 though..

My G reg 405 Mi16 somehow managed to pass 3 years in a row but this last time it failed on a couple of minor things.
