High reving and smoking 182

[Ian_182]

Coming home tonight and pull up to an island and the revs stay on 3k.This was unusual as i had ben driving normally for 20 miutes and the whole time i had no problems.

I pulled away from the island and the car stalled,i was left stranded with a cut out car and loads of people looking weird at me.I got it going and the car was really jumpy,i looked in my mirror and there was a puff of smoke.I pulled into a safe area and then tried to start the car.Nothing.I left it for a minute and then it started again and no problems.I got the car home and the fiance said she had the car sitting at 2k after driving for a while and then it went a couple of days ago.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of behaviour from their car?????

Ringing renault in the morning to get it looked at but would like any help/likewise experiences from anyone please

Advance thanks,ian

I had a similar problem with my Cup last December...it turned out to be the airflow sensor/throttle housing I think.

When it went it just sat "hunting" at 2-3k rpm as it was getting no messages from the sensor IIRC.

Get it checked out/sorted ASAP before it lets you down on a motorway at 3 in the morning!

Its the electronic throttle packed up

Part number 8200 110 994
Price 177.50 +vat

It will show up on the clip system, I have done 2 so far one on my car and Markcups above.
Just noticed it was a 182.....
And if its not that it more than likely to be the coolant sensor they play up a fair bit on the 182s.

Thanks so far people.Any feedback is good

i wasnt driving normally!

we must be lucky with 182 at the mo. changed 2 oxygen sensors and 1 injector but thats it no other problems yet. i suppose the throttle body fault etc from 172 will apply as they are the same parts after all.

 

[Ian_182]

Spoke to dealer today and booked the car in.They say its the throttle body sensor and will deal with it asap

Thanks folks.

Just fixed mine:

Had the same idling problem, PLUS a temp sensor problem ontop.

The car had difficulty starting on many occasions... but tonight I lost my temper...

As soon it started, I booted it to the rev-limiter (stationery in a car park), and suddenly all returned to normal...

I think there was a rat stuck in the engine somewhere.
