Wont idle. No fault codes!

Ok update time.

Have had the car at a reputable mechanics. Wiring tested and seems ok. No faults being thrown up. Ecu off and tested. All working ok. All the garage can think now is its a faulty throttle body but its not showing on code reader.. I haven't the money to replace this if it isnt faulty. Does anyone have a 206 1.6l from 2003 or later that would kindly let me try the item. It is a 2 minute job and cannot harm the item at all. This would then show if it is this part. As a single dad I just cannot afford to throw any more money on parts that might not need replacing? Also would a software update show up on an ECU test? Could this be a possibility? Anyone know where i can get one done other than main stealer?

Thanks guys,

Steve

Are they sure their reader is compatible? Peugeot's are funny with these and not all generic ones work. One way is to disconnect something and test it shows up an error .. if it doesn't then I wouldn't trust the code reader being used.

Being a 2003 petrol it SHOULD be EOBD compatible ... so newer code readers should be OK ... but it's never definite. We've had one on here recently showing up a cam sensor code when there isn't a cam sensor fitted!

It's a Snap On live reader I believe! The first mechanic I tried couldn't read it but these other guys were recommended and read all the fault codes first. They've fixed them but still can't find this fault :-(
