Xm 3.0 Litre V6 Petrol

[tubbs]

Hi

Iam a new member and I wonder if any one can help. I have a 2000 XM Exclusive V6 3.0 litre petrol Auto a magnificent car but it has developed a problem. When starting from cold car starts no problem but after running for a short while it dies normally as you are pulling off normally starts again instantlly, but it can be a problem if you are pulling out of a side road, especially as its an auto you have to stop and place it in park to restart. Have had it to a Citroen specialist they cannot find a problem.

 

Any advice great fully accepted.

idle control valve or throttle body needs cleaning, the problem is the idle drops too low and the engine shuts down ( normally associate with any load like aircon ) throttle body clean and MAF check is normal and vacuum leaks

 

swap ya ;)

Early model XM's suffered with poor fuel pump connections under the LHM tank. in which case the wiring for the pump needs to be cut from the connector and rejoined outside of it.
