Detected Faults on ECM and PSA Engine 1.4i and 1.6i (including LPG versions)

General Description

We offer assistance and repair services for the most common issues found in ECM and PSA engines 1.4i and 1.6i, including LPG versions. We diagnose and resolve a wide range of problems related to the engine and electronic system of the vehicle, focusing on malfunctions that can affect performance and starting.

Common Faults and Symptoms

• Engine malfunction with recovery mode and cylinder deactivation
• Total malfunction: the vehicle does not communicate during diagnosis and won’t start.
• Immobilizer repair: decoding and solving problems related to the car code that prevent starting.
• Does not accelerate: the accelerator pedal does not respond correctly.
• Misfires: occurring on both short and long journeys.
• Engine won’t start, sometimes without errors in diagnosis: no current reaches the spark plugs.
• Engine fan always running at maximum speed.
• VANOS not activated (issues with the variable valve timing system).

Customer Feedback

Here are some of the most significant issues reported by our customers:

• "The variable valve timing motor doesn’t work, the car sputters and doesn’t accelerate well."
• "After a few kilometers, a cylinder is deactivated and the car runs on three. Turning the car off and on temporarily fixes the issue."
• "After starting, the car sputters, the fan turns on, and the anti-pollution warning light comes on."
• "The car won’t start, the ground does not reach the coils, and there are no errors in diagnosis."
• "Once the engine warms up, it's hard to restart until it cools down."
