Car Idling Badly and Sometimes cuts out

[kevinvanj]

Took my 1.4i Westcoast to Halfords yesterday to get Battery and Altenator tested thought maybe my ICE was draining something both were fine but when we removed a green sensor on the right hand side of engine it is located next to a blue sensor the car idled better what could be the problem or what is this sensor if it needs to be changed.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply went down to euro car Parts this morning no stock available for engine coolant temperature sensor was thinking of going to my local scrappy and get one , would i need to find the exact engine as mine 1.4i or could i use one form a VTR or VTS ? Thanks

I'd go to citroen matey. They are only between £15 - £20 possibly slightly less

Might be worth taking it to a good garage, you could spends pounds on changing things that are not the problem ;)

it lets your car know how hot the engine is and weather the stepper motor needs to open or not to warm your engine up more or not

check your throttle body make sure it opens and closes properly.
