True - but in my situation (a 306 with idling problems), I
self-diagnosed (with help from online) that I needed to replace the
stepper motor. Did that and it make little long term difference (came
back the 2nd time I started it). Put it into the garage which said it
had 2 fault codes - Stepper Motor and MAP Sensor. Replaced the MAP
sensor, reset the codes, and now just have 1 fault code - Stepper motor
(even though it was only a day or two old).
So, either the (new) stepper motor is faulty, or the ECU is being weird.
Considering it was also saying the coolant was -41 degrees after a
test drive (-10 or something after starting), and it claimed it was
doing 120kph, with 0rpm whilst sitting stationary, I'd go with the ECU...
