Fuel Injection Made Easy - iii
A tiny problem manifested itself late last week with the 106. The air temperature dropped somewhat and my daughter had trouble starting the 106 and then keeping it ticking over. A brief investigation revealed that the new idle control motor fitted recently wasn't actually doing any idle control motoring at all. I rang my "favourite" Peugeot Dealer on the grounds that they had left it in that state in the first place.
"Before I bring it in, how can I test it?"
"Oooh, we can't tell you that, or we'd have to kill you. We would put it on the *special machine* and do an actuator test"
"Oh, so you would start the car and see if the motor was stepping in and out ?"

It wasn't. I found a new one on an identical 106 in the local breakers, so I bought the whole injection unit for £35 and swapped out the stepper motor. This seems to have had the desired effect.
Watch this space.
Something I found out:- The part numbers for Bosch Stepper motors fitted on 106's end 600, 601, 602 & 603. The all fit, but they're different. Mine ends in 603. Can you guess which is the most difficult one to find?
