cheers mate, much appreciated. the bloke at renault asked me if it had a white backing so i hope he has ordered the right one.

its not so much idle problems mate although sometime it is very lumpy and acts as if its going to cut out... when im driving the car starts to act as if there is some fuel starvation, more so when the car is warm. got told it was the cts so thats what im trying

[JamesB]

£10.93 from renault mate.... i guess its the wrong one

Why r u replacing it, how do u know whwn it is knackared??

 

[JamesB]

because i posted on here and a couple of other sites the problem i had and everybody said it was the CTS

james

 

[Pat_986]

what was the problem, just want to know what it does....
I.E. just incase/when the same thing happens to mine!

 

[JamesB]

when it starts up it idles fine.. but then its starts to get really lumpy and wants to cut out (ICV already clenaed). when driving the car feels as there is some fuel starvation, it starts to loose revs and kind of kangaroos. apparantly the coolant sensor gives the ecu wrong information so it puts more/less fuel in..

hope that helps

 

[AmirClio]

Yeah your right pal, it could be a number of things but its a good cheap place to start!

[JamesB]

guys, hope you can help here. i have still got this irratating problem. when im driving the car seems to kangaroo when the revs are around 3k, if i back of the accelarator then put it back on the car seems to jerk really bad but then it goes fine... i have replaced the coolant temp sensor this morning which seems to have solved the idle problem

MAP sensor?

 

[JamesB]

which sensor is that mate and what does it do

james

 

[Pat_986]

Think it monitors the air/air pressure and send the info to the ecu....not 100% tho, sure someone will clarify what it does

 

[JamesB]

orite cool, might take a look and see if it makes any difference if i disconnect it. tbh when i get it sorted im seling the valver and buying something else

Yeah, renault's do my head in.............great when they are good, nightmare when they are bad.

I love google;


Map sensor

Definition: Refers to a manifold absolute pressure sensor, a variable resistor used to monitor the difference in pressure between the intake manifold at outside atmosphere. [FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]This information is used by the engine computer to monitor engine load (vacuum drops when the engine is under load or at wide open throttle). When the engine is under load, the computer may alter spark timing and the fuel mixture to improve performance and emissions. [/FONT]

 

[JamesB]

yeah just the same as nissans tho, love them when they good, fooking s**t when they bad

also, change your fuelfilter - its easy to do and if you haventdone it before, you will probably find it full of crap - you will notice a huge difference if you replace a knackered fuel filter - its cheap and easy
