Hi madmadmax what does the clutch switch do and where do i find it....

Hi coastline a few more things for me to try cheers..

Hi coastline taxis i've had a look at the car today and checked the wiring and i have continuity on all three wires from cam sensor to the ECU.

Hi parksie, paul.h and coastline taxis i've just been out and checked the car with a multimeter and there is a 5 volt reading across the cam sensor plug i've also checked the inlet manifold, no cracks and all bolts tight, also when car is stationary the revs goes up nice and smooth, its just when pulling away.cheers...riceman

Hi paul.h the throttle is electronic not cable so maybe could be failing on the electronic side cheers.....steve

Hi paul.h i've had a compression test done all cylinders have very good compression, the car has done 85000 miles, i've not had citroen do a diagnostic test but had three done by different mechanics and they all came back with same fault (P1336), the car ticks over lovely so the timing is fine, it feels like the engine is being starved of either air or fuel at low revs when the accelerator is pressed, also when i checked the injectors i unplugged one at a time with the engine running and each time there was a difference in the engine so i took it that the injectors were fine. I may try putting redex in a full tank to see if anything needs cleaning. cheers....riceman

Hello again ok the story so far - i purchased this C5 with the fault but thought is was an easy fix just replace the sensor, how naive! As the fault code is P1336 (crank/camshaft sensor) I started by replacing the crank sensor £25 but no change, I then replaced the the camshaft sensor £35 (after market part) but no change, I then had another mechanic test it, he got the code P1336 and told me to change the camshaft sensor, i told him i had which he replied "some cars don't like after market parts" so i purchased a original citroen camshaft sensor £75 but no change, then talking to another mechanic he told me to try the EGR valve which after a lot of searching i found out my model does not have one, another mechanic told me to try cleaning out the throttle body which i have with clutch cleaner but no change.So where do i go from here the car at low revs (under 2000) loses power i have to put my foot on the clutch get the revs up then release the clutch and if i'm lucky away i go, some times its worse than others, its annoying when pulling away from lights, the light change and no power, also using lots of fuel as revving car all the time..May be time to go to the big crusher in the sky, i don't want to take it to citroen and pay out lots of money..... very frustrated first and last citroen i think!!!!!!! so just to summarise - coil pack fine, injectors fine, sensors changed, no EGR valve, throttle body cleaned. lambda sensors fine. ???????

hi paul.h cheers for the info i'll have another look tomorrow.

hi paul.h cheers for your reply I've removed the engine cover and the air intake assembly but still no sign of an EGR valve, I looked on ebay just to see what they look like but can not see anything that resembles an EGR valve.

hi parkesie not sorted it out yet, I had the coil pack checked and that's ok I've since been told to try the EGR valve but just need to locate it? will keep you posted..

Hi paul.h thanks for reply i will check connectors cheers.

Hi parkesie thanks for reply i will give it a go.

Hi i'm new to the forum and could do with some HELP, I've recently purchased a 55 reg C5 1.8 petrol, when driving the car at low revs there is a loss of power, engine feels like its going to cut out, i bought it knowing about the fault and was told it was the camshaft sensor, I changed the camshaft sensor with an after market sensor but still no change so i changed the crank sensor but still no change, I then decided to get the car checked again and it came up with the same fault P1336 and was told to replace camshaft sensor with a citroen sensor which i did but still no change, also when i unplug cam sensor i can still drive the car with no change but when i unplug the crank sensor the car wont start, what does this mean HELP PLEASE Steve.
