Hi,
I have recently bought a Reenault Megane Dynamique 1.6 VVT, To start with everything was fine until recently when there the car has been stalling at low revs. Once revs are applied 3000 or so the engine stays on and the car will drive fine if not a little sluggish from time to time. It would appear that the car does try to raise the revs to keep the engine going but generally fails. I have had it on a diagnostic and there was a fuel pump relay fault found but was informed it would have to go to renault to rectify this. Could this be the cause of the fault?
Or could this also be due to a faulty ignition coil/coils?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Damon

Re: Engine stalls when idling
Hi Damon,
Its a common fault, especially after a cold start. Mine revs and as soon as engage reverse the revs drop quite considerably, and is like a boneshaker until it warms up. It is fine somedays when standing start and others it's as jumpy as zebedee.
To improve overall best to clean the throttle body first and if still problems then see if the fuel pump is the problem.
