"Since then intermittently the engine will only rev up to a maximum of 2,300 rpm. Its like it is limited at 2,300. The only way to stop it is to switch off a few times and restart it. Sometimes it is ok for a few days, other times I can't clear it at all. I have tried taking the battery off to reset the ECU, but no joy. I suspect it is either an ECU problem or something to do with the fuel supply? When it does do it and I switch off the engine appears to run on for a few seconds, could this be a clue?

Also last night it now stalls when I take my foot off the gas whilst driving, could be related? Does anyone have any idea whats going on with this car>? Could anyone please point me in the right direction??"


Obviously V863 he didn't find an answer in the replies offered, so I've re-posted separately for current experts to have a look - its not carte blanche to quote posts ok !:-)

So when you go over a bump, the ABS[?] light flashes for a second?

Have the ABS system read for fault-codes by your local garage and see what's amiss.

I've just left a post on another thread. The ECU failed completely on my 306 hdi and had numerous electrical problems which appear to be a feature of french cars.

ECU is a possibility...
