Dodgy ECU on Peugeot 306? - Sam
My car is a peugeot 306 xl. Petrol with Cat converter. It has had an intermittent fault which has just resurfaced after a year of it being fine.

It just revs itself when I don\'t have my foot on the accelerator - it\'s like I\'m reving up at lights to race off! I took it in for an engine analysis and I\'ve been told it\'s probably a faulty ECU as it reported 12 faults which didn\'t actually exist.

Does anyone have any advice on this - could it be bad connections in the ECU or should I just get it replaced? If I get it replaced - am I likely to get one from a scrap yard?

Any advice would be welcome - if it\'s polite!

there is a known problem with these engines i asumne yours is a 1.4 the ecu is reporting a fault code that cannot be cancelled. this is caused by a dodgy dry coil which causes the ecu to fail.
try changing the coil assembly first as this may cure it. you have nothing to loose. if not try contacting atp electronics (www.atpelectronics.co.uk) for a price to have your ecu repaired.
they are really good.
