peugeot 307 problem - need help!!!!

jayventolin

i have a 2005 peuogeot 307 verve model
i have notice recently it is difficult to start first thing in the morning sluggish and the exhaust will make a rattle at the same time of starting, if i got to move of the rattle continues and the car will cut out. i sometimes feel the accelerator at the start is not engaging correctly first thing in the morning.

if i restart the car and wait a few seconds and then drive of things are fine. and the car will drive fine for the rest of the day.

any ideas whats wrong - exhaust problem - electircal problem with the accelerator?

all help appreciated.

thanks

Is this peugeot 307 a 1.6 hdi diesel? If it is then it could have to do with the pre-heat (glow plug) relay.

What engine have you got...??
The 1.6 hdi's will start fine without any glowplugs working unless the outside temp is well below 0degs....but as you said the glowplug relays can give trouble.
Ideally you will need to get fault codes read and check live data when the engine is cranking...:)

thanks for the feedback guys - it's a 1.4l petrol
i brought it to a mechanic and he put some strap on the exhaust which did nothing. he kept saying that there are alot of electrical problems with this car but didnt offer much help to me.

it's like i have to push the accelerator hard at the start to engage - i'll get out the driveway rattling exhaust and then she cuts out- i park the car close the gates- get in and drive off and she's fine for the rest of the day - my head is wrecked

can anyone reccomend agud place to bring it too- not a peugeot garage- they'll rip me off i know.

thanks for your help guys.
