Xsara 1.6 Forte Problem

[Jay1982]

Hi Have had the car for about 2 months now, The problem seems to be when im stationary with the clutch in the car stalls and the engine management light flashes, when i try to start it back up it takes a few attemps to get it going again, this can be annoying especialy when im at a roundabout or in traffic.

Any information would be great many thanks Jay

Not familiar with your car but it may just need a service to include new spark plugs, air filter, clean throttle plate/body with something like carb cleaner or white spirit to remove any carbon build up, check for any air leaks/bockages in any hoses around the engine/breather system. If there is an idle control valve then this should be cleaned also.
