   Hi i have a problem with my car when its cold its fine but when i worms up it stalls on idle and it stalls on decelration but it starts right away
   
   i have replaced the coolent temp sensor tested the icv and tp sensor with a multimeter and they are fine so i took it into citroens today for diagnostic but it found no errors on electrical and also non on the injection system
   
   they tried to blame it on the induction kit what do you all think as this i driving me nuts

   Try cleaning the ivc if you can pal...Friend had the same problem and that sorted it. Think you've got to take the throttle body off, theres afew guides on here showing how to do it.

   hi i finally found my problem i took it to a garage and they said that the FSE power boost valve was at fault so they took it of and this is the good bit they couldn't find where all of the lines go so they put the fuel line straight into the fuel rail with a clamp on it i gues it is acting as a fuel pressure regulator and they also left the vacuum hose of completely
   
   the car now seems to be going through a lot of petrol at idle but it does still stall aswell
   
   am i right in thinking it could be running lean a high speed
   
   
   also if i got a standard fuel pressure regulator could i just fit it to the fuel line and the vacuum hose then back into the fuel rail
   
   
   ps if there is anyone in ipswich with a vts i wouldnt mind having a look under the bonnet just to see where the cables go
   
   thanks
