Peugeot 106 Air Temperature Sensor

16th June 2018, 17:14

Guys, im sorry i know this is saxo forum... But i can not find active peugeot forum, all are dead as it seems...

I drive Peugeot 106 MK2 1.1 petrol 44kW (1998), which is very much the same as saxo. Problem is when i drive 70-80 km/h and then i step on a clutch the rpm goes to zero and of course car turns off... This also happens when i step on the brake and clutch at the same time when im turning or i need to stop at the crossroad.

I was told that air temperature sensor might be the problem, but i do not know where to find it so i can test it and replace it if it is really the problem...

This is an image i found online, looks completely the same as mine:

Im sorry again for posting about peugeot in saxo forum

Best Regards

It won't be the air temperature sensor, it will probably be the Idle Control Valve.

See this thread for a picture showing the sensor.

You are right! When i unplug it, idle works great.

I borrowed one from friends car to test it, but i still got the problems... Am sure that his one is working 100%... Perhaps the problem with mine is the connector to the idle control valve, not the valve iteslf... ?

did you clean the hole it bolts onto thoroughly? ANY dirt can make the valve respond slowly which makes the engine hunt and cut out.

But yes there's a chance there could be a wiring fault. I would have thought the engine management light would be on though?
