    the engine speed sensor, whcih sits above the flywheel.. it bolts on to the gear box 2 x 11mm nuts try change that,also test that all the wiring on the loom is intact, bolted down tight etc.. no chaffing etc.

    ok , i have wondered before about my loom but as its all taped up i worry that i will **** it up.when unwrapping tape.

    i havent looked at the engine speed sensor yet, cheers

    but why is it fine when cold? fine until it gets 1/4 way up on temp dial.

    you never said that it didnt stall when you depress the clutch when cold...
    tbh your more than likely looking at a faulty engine speed sensor i/we hope ..lol

    other than that check that the clutch cable /pedal is not making contact when being operated. no need to undo the loam just check its not worn though or making contact behind the dash somewhere.

    sorry yeah when cold it runs perfect! when warm and just sat on idle i can depress clutch and dont stall so its nothing the clutch cable is doing.

    so that engine speed sensor looks like a good one to change.i think sum1 esle has suggested that before actually.

    i'd try a new ecu tbh, the old one could be water damaged and its easier than starting to rip ur loom apart!

    it's a miracle! after battling with this stalling problem for 2 years ive fixed it.

    i was reading through lunners renault workshop file and noticed it said the screw on throttle housing has to be screwed right down. so went outside screwed it right down now it dont stall!!! i let the car warm right up so fan was go took it out didtn stall once!

    i mega happy! :D :D :D

    this should be added to gunnergibbsons idle fixes!
