Peogeot 307 diesel - The car dies when I hit the gas pedal - Neimenerdetdu

Hello. I put this out again but now on the right place, My turbo just died so I had a replacement. And now the car won't start sometimes, when it starts it's just sit there and as fast I hit the gas pedal it dies straight away, I thought maybe the battery was a problem cuz that was broken to so I put a new one in, nothing happens, the injectors is fine, the dynamo is fine, I just had a replacement on the mass air filter or what it's called, so that's fine to. Is there someone that maybe had the same problem and have some ideas of what it can be? Or other people that have any ideas? I'm sorry for my English writing if there is any misstake, I'm not english.. :D thank you very much for feedback.

Better to find a diesel specialist, but which engine is it.

If the 1.6hdi, try th peugot forums.

Maybe a partly choked fuel filter? Does it cut out or just lose power when you accelerate?

If it's the latter then check the fuel filter. You get the same effect driving at minus 20 centigrade with a cold engine as the fuel gels and partly blocks the filter.

If the fault has started since work was done under the bonnet I would put money on the problem being a part not reconnected properly.

A Planet diagnostic will read fault codes and live data and tell you the problem straight away.

Google "planet owners map" for more details

Thanks for reply my post, I found the problem so the car is good as new now. Everything was connected. But since the turbo broke down, the intercooler was full of oil so I empty it and cleand it, :)
