Constant Reving

[Ashsax]

my friend owns a peugeot 206, 1 year old, but it keeps reving without pushing the gas pedal. could anyone shed any light on this matter?

idle sensor?

[Ashsax]

hmmmm, how would that be solved? would it just need tweaking, or a new sensor?

[Baz]

new sensor, im guessing it just revs funny when its idling? ie abit jumpy (up and down)

[Ashsax]

it revs full on! like the pedal is sticking, but i dont understand why.

[Baz]

so hits the limiter!? jesus, doesn't sound too good. my guess would just be to try a new idle sensor. Though im sure someone may give a better answer through out tomorrow

[Ashsax]

yeh, thx for the help tho! will rep u for been up this late/early

Has your mate got this sorted yet? It could be as simple as the throttle cable or butterfly being stuck in an open possition

[joel_e]

take your air filter off and clean arond the throttle butterfly make sure no dirt or anything goes in there tho

[Ashsax]

not sorted yet, so will tell them. thx for the help

[Sparco_Tom]

no worries mate, keep us posted and im sure someone on here will be able to offer an opinion

[Ashsax]

my friend is gonna take the car into a garage, since its still under warranty, thx for the help anyways, and i'll post what the problem was, when its fixed.
