Clio tintop
SWMBO tintop 1.2 16v 03 plate clio has had a hiccup twice this week.
First time I was driving it and while stopped waiting for a lorry to manouvre all was ok till I tried to move away and nothing/no power etc. A rev up
and still a bit jittery but it went away and has been ok since. Then this morning the same thing happened to swmbo. It doesn't stall or anything
like that just no power and after a minute it's all ok again. Both times have been first thing in the morning with a cold engine warming up.
Anyone come across this before?? I just know at some point I'll get the phone call "it's broken down what do I do" so
hopefully I'll be prepared what to look at first. OH and no engine management lights are on when this happens.

i replace lots of the coils on the 16v renault engines, also the map sensors can int go down, causes hesitation etc

Interesting ketchup. thinking to myself its prolly a tps or map sensor as the car does not stall YET. Only it wont accellerate.

Well it's taken a while but today I get the phone call that it's doing it again but worse (longer periods) it still doesn't stall
but won't take the welly and still 400yds after a cold start. I must admit that it has felt for a while that it's got a hesitation about
it at light/constant throttle loads (MAP sensor??) but also on one occasion recently the fuel pump was VERY noisy. Any more ideas as it's
difficult to pin down an intermitant problem. Where's the map at ??? can i get in to measure the resistance or is that part in the ecu?? OH and
still no managemnt lights.

It is french, and its female, so it plays up just because it can, for no reason, and at the most inconvenient times
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

check all earths and the earth pins into the ecu ,probably not coil related if its cold running issue .the mil light may not come on but it might have
logged some codes . id look at the maf and tps first

Could it be a sign of a failing TPS?
Maybe it loses the plot for a bit until you give some serious throttle action which kicks it into life again?
Cheers

i hate it when cars do that, my car recently had trouble with its starter while we were on holiday. so i get a new one from ebay, however before it
arrives that car is fine, every time my girlfriend uses it it starts perfectly. Its only while i was there it would have issues starting, very wierd.
at least the starter was easy to replace.

Well it's been OK up till now again and it's started doing it again Only slightly worse. You can now provoke a stall.
It seems to be ok if you can keep the revs above 2500 and it'll rev freely up and down between these revs. Sill no warning lights
though so don't know where to start. its got a fly by wire throttle so that seems like a logical place to look but does anyone know
how to check it. I presume that beacause the ecu is getting some sort of signal (although the wrong one possibly) that it won't recognise the
fault.
Anyone got any ideas this time???
Edited to add that NOTHING has been done to the car since this problem started 18 months ago no parts have been replaced to try and solve the problem
it's just gone and come back

French electrics = poodle pooh.
I have heard of problems with engine bay wiring corrosion on Renaults. I think the first thing to do check all the sensor and wiring connectors are
making good contact and then read and clear the fault codes.
Personally I would also check the cts, map and tps give sensible glitch free results.

This is the biggest problem there are no fault codes stored at all EVER. The car so far has always restarted and run again. Shit french cars as you
say.

Sorry mate but this is not an option at the moment. I do however wish I'd had as many genuine answers/advice as I've had crap humour
ones

Interesting thread, we have an 03 Clio 1.2 16v and it did this on hols last week, felt like a dirty TPS pot to me. Not done it since. A few dabs on
the throttle and it sprung back into life. Not done anything about it yet, but may have to in the winter!

Sorry.
I didn't mean to be too sarcastic. I had a 5 year old Clio about 5 years ago. Why did i replace it? I worked out it cost more to keep on the
road then I would loose on depreciation on a new car.
although i do love Clio's I dont love the aftercare as much.

No offence taken as I knew what you meant but I just wish I could get to the back of this problem. The car is great otherwise and has only cost me a
couple of services and a set of tyres and disc pads. It's SWMBOS car anyways but the fact that the problem is coming and going does'nt
help in the diagnosis.

Silly question but have you been down to the Mandela for a chat and cup of coffee. you could always authorise them to work out the problem but then
say the repair bit is too expensive (and take it elsewhere/diy). or just ask them if its a known fault.
i doubt they'd know cos the one's down here tend to be replace first then work out problem later.
This is personal advise or personal opinion.

No cause the guys a prick and what he does know you could write on a pinhead
Besides i reckon the collective knowledge on here is much more likely to produce results. i mean the first thing they'll do is stick it on a
computer and charge £25 minimum and theyre are no codes logged at all so what's the point.
