i had the same symptoms on my vts engine, it only happened after a long time of driving, ive changed every sensor on the engine, a peugeot diagnostics showed nothing, the last sensor i changed was a crank sensor, i would advise this before you spend money on anything else to be fair, ICV, TPS then the crank sensor, i think it has cured mine, but ive gotta take it out a long drive to make sure lol,

crank sensor i still say

i had a diagnostics done, gave nothing, so run through the ignition cycle, and my TPS was only showing idle/mid would never go to full, so replaced it, and still get the problem after the car seems to get proper warm, only had lambda and crank sensor left to check, just gotta take it a run and test the crank sensor
