Hi everyone,
I,ve got a P reg 950cc dimension. Once the engine has warmed up and I
then stop for say 30 minutes when I restart and drive away I get a loss
of engine power (usually in 2nd gear) as I put some load on the engine.
It doesn't die completely but tends to splutter and then runs ok. It's
intermitent and doesn't do it when at the garage. Anyone got any ideas
what may be causing this?
Thanks
Ian

The suspicion would be a fuelling problem, probably evaporation, but that is
speaking as somebody who understands engines using carburettors better. I
believe your car would use computer managed fuel injection (I may be wrong as
it is only 950cc). If that is the case then it could easily be a sensor
somewhere. For that you'd need someone who knows PSA group engine management
systems.
