chip and ping Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 J reg P205 1.4 cabriolet (skip) Has been occasionally missing a beat for no obvious reason for 4 years. Last month it cut out whilst doing 50mph and wouldn't restart until the car had come to a halt. It then ran fine for 3 weeks until last week when it died 6 times in 3 miles but each time started again after a couple of mins. Now it runs for about 20 seconds. By the time you try to check everything it runs again. Any ideas please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 The idle control valve always used to cause these type of problems on the GTi, not sure about a 1.4 but I'd guess it's a pretty similar setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
