Ignition & idle issues

Recommended Posts

Aston guto

Hi,

I am new to the Peugeot 205 GTIs. I have a 1.6 with EFI hatch. 3 door. The engine starts but dies after 2 seconds. The throttle pedal is not responsive at first. After a few crank-start-die sequences, the car picks up and idles at 1000rpm. Just to mention, I have the wrong distributor on the car. i.e the distributor was picked from a 1.6 carb and the vacuum canister is bust. so no vacuum. 

I cannot seem to get a refurbished dizzy with vacuum canister as they are rare to find, so am told.

So, if you have one hit me up, you may save me the hustle! 

 

Anyways, if there is none out there, I would like to upgrade to a coil pack with an aftermarket ECU. At least to control the ignition only then still use the stock EFI, AFM with ECU (Budget restrictions) I came across a NODIZ pro ignition kit with 36-1 trigger wheel, sensor,  4 - coil pack, loom, ECU and brackets. Am not sure if someone has done this and is willing to guide me through the whole process to mapping. In theory, there would be 2 ECUs on the same engine. Are there other more compatible EDIS brands available to choose from?

Is this problem unique?

I am new to this, please guide me adequately. 

 

I would like to drive the car every day to and from work and use it over the weekends for  a bit of speed 120kph is good enough for me!

Budget not exceeding 1000 pounds. Value for money!
