clio 172 revving flat out all of the time?

[payton31]

as soon as the vehicle starts its revving to the limiter all the time, any ideas ?

 

[charltjr]

Stuck throttle body or inlet air leak?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Done any work on it recently ?

 

[payton31]

no just changed down a gear to go into an island (not quick) it like surged forward, coming out of the island it just took off and has been like it ever since havn't got round to sorting it

 

[payton31]

can see any air leaks at all, throttle body is shut, going to try and take the throttle body off and clean that and if that doesn't cure it, unplug the accelerator pedal and turn it on see if it idles normally

Sounds like an air leak somewhere I had the same. Although mines was due to removing the carbon canister from the breather and not blocking it off correctly.

 

[payton31]

I don't think mine are blocked of correctly, but they have been like that since I brought it ?

Cover it good with duct tape and see if it helps. If so then you know it's that then obviously block it suitable after. That's what I done.

Post a pic of the top of the engine

 

[payton31]

with the inlet off or on ? and ill will have do do it tomorrow as im at work now and out later on, the breather that goes to the intake pipe is fine, the one when you take the inlet off and the part that sticks up into the inlet, the pipe to the left of that (by the engine crane hook) hasn't got anything attatched but it has been like that since day1

That's your problem then mate that must be blocked off.

PH2 with fly by wire throttle body?
Get the fault code(s) read and check wiring for corrosion before replacing any parts.
Does it still rev with your foot on the brake pedal?Any warning lights on?

Check your mat hasn't lifted up on to the throttle peddle, this happened to me once it took me a while to work it out ha.

Please clarify.If you start the engine with your foot on the brake pedal,it does not rev?

going to try that tomorrow , will update tomorrow see if it cures it thanks

 

[payton31]

Well i had a quick look tonight and within a couple of minutes, found this that i think the bolt has gone walkies that was blocking it off. Also the clip was loosr

So i plopped a new bolt in and tightened it up

 

[payton31]
