Well, full speed when it's not stalling at junctions.... ;)
The MAP sensor didn't fix it, and the stepper motor fault code keeps
coming back, even though it's got a new one fitted.
The coolant temp reading was, I think -5 after starting the car, and -41
during the garage's test drive. It also said (on the fault code reader
thing) whilst sitting in the garage it was doing 120kph with an RPM of 0.
The garaged suggested replacing the (green connector) coolant sensor as
it's reasonably cheap, but if that doesn't fix it then it's probably a
main dealer job to diagnose and it may be a "chase the sensor"
situation. It also has a Sagem coil pack and Sagem ECU... so
considering weird readings and the trip counter randomly resetting, it
could possibly be an ECU fault.
He advised at 120,000 miles, financially it's probably not worth sorting
the ECU (if that's the problem) or chasing the sensor problem (other
than the coolant sensor). Particularly considering it has about £280 of
brake/driveshaft work due (much fairer estimate than Peugeot's £680),
it's due for a cam belt change, front tyres are getting near to needing
replacement in the coming 6-9 months I think, slight external oil leak
from around the head gasket area, needs a coolant change (deep rusty
colour)... and the tax runs out at end of April.
I'm thinking that if the coolant sensor doesn't fix the problem, then it
may be time for a new (well, replacement) car. :(
