The car cuts out while driving and sometimes wen l rev the car, it does not pik up...and l am clueless to what is wrong wit it. any suggestions

my dad used to have 405 GL like 3 yrs ago. and we were in mechanic shop like f*uckin everyday. well u know and it had like 300000 km on it already. worked alllllooooooooooottt for us (12 yrs)

could be your revs are too low , if this is the case it can Bee adjusted ask your mechanic ,he should be able to adjust it. your alternator /

l had a Peugeot 405 that did the same thing. The garage said it was a design fault and they could not fix it. Really useful eh! The moral of the story - do not buy Peugeot.

MOST Peugeot 405 is had a carburettted engine (1.6 & 1.9).

Your car has a fuel injected engine. You cannot rev it up reliably. It cuts out. You have a fuel delivery problem. l am really surprised the mechanic cannot find the problem. Was this a Peugeot Dealer, with all the fancy diagnostic equipment? Or a local guy?

Option #2. Find out who makes the fuel injection equipment for ur 406. Is it Bosch? Jetronic? Take ur car to an independent garage that has, for example, BOSCH equipment for diagnosis.

PS: for all previous problems with the 405.. l would change the distributor module (spark amplification) It is a flat black plastic piece held on the distributor with only two screws. 88 euro here in Belgium.
