Spiky 37 Posted January 28, 2007 2 things 1st, when cold and i start (starting is a pain sometimes) it will tickover about 800-900, then when up to normal temp, the revs rise, to around 2k and for some reason stay there>> 2nd i have put 4 different AFM's on and the car still holding back when you floor it, even in 2nd gear it takes aaages to get to high revs???? things changed, afm's dizzy,leads, plugs,tach relay,tps anyone have anyone things add????

Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted January 28, 2007 sounds like it needs a proper setup and possibly a SAD or ECU temp sensor is at fault as idle should come down when warm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiky 37 Posted January 28, 2007 ok, well i'll order a new ecu temp sensor tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiky 37 Posted January 29, 2007 sounds like it needs a proper setup and possibly a SAD or ECU temp sensor is at fault as idle should come down when warm. is that sensor CP025(Water temp (above cold start valve)) ????? as stated on autofive website Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim.Badger 15 Posted January 29, 2007 If it idles like that I'd say your SAD really needs some attention Before I disturbed my SAD it would pull up to 2k at startup and then drop to 1.2k ish, which is a bit high but me and the idle control valve don't get on I'd say replace the sensor (not expensive) and clean out your SAD and check it's plugged in alright, and maybe change it's wire.

Spiky 37 Posted January 29, 2007 yeah thats the plan, about to order trhe sensor, is that the right sensor though??? as it dont say ECU Temp , just temp sensor. just making sure thats all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
futura 3 Posted January 29, 2007 I would second Grim.Badger on the SAD affecting your idle. I had the same issues until I gave my SAD a good clean and adjusted the small nut to open the window more widely. I then needed to re-adjust my idle and since then it idles at about 1100rpm when cold and 900rpm when warm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spiky 37 Posted January 29, 2007 sweet, jsut rang them correct part, i've ordered new temp sensor, will remove the sad and clean this week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
futura 3 Posted January 29, 2007 There are two types of throttle bodies, but both have got a brass color screw on them, this is the idle screw Early type: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Peugeot-205-GTi-1-9-...1QQcmdZViewItem Later type: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PEUGEOT-205-GTI-THRO...1QQcmdZViewItem The screw is located in the housing next to where the oil breather pipe plugs.

Spiky 37 Posted January 29, 2007 as mine is the early type i guess this the screw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 244 3 Cars Posted January 29, 2007 me and the idle control valve don't get on An 8v 205 GTi doesn't have an idle control valve!! Thats the idle speed screw you've circled in your picture & arrowed in the attached one. It would be worthwhile giving the whole of the intake & breather system a thorough clean out with some carb cleaner to remove any gunk thats built up over the years. Graham.

Graham. cheers for that, i've had new pipes for the breather, so i'll clean the others. the breather's been cleaned too tonight i'll clean the SAD and fit the new sensor this week when it arrives Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob_the_Sparky 9 Posted January 29, 2007 Regarding the engine feeling like it is holding back; that sounds like a retarded ignition timing. If I'm right then you will also have a weak idle, although I agree with the others about the SAD probably being at fault (or the electrics that drive the SAD).
