Citroen Saxo 1.1i - Fuel problems? Help please!!
6 Answers
I have just bought a second hand Saxo.
When driving, occasionally, the engine starts to race and the car starts jerking as if running out of fuel. I have to dip the clutch and rev to try and clear it. Sometimes this works and sometimes it just cures itself.
I'd be grateful for any ideas.

In the end I had to take it to a Citroen garage and they found it was the 'idling regulator motor' which they replaced at about �180 including labour and that solved the problem. So if this is the same fault, I dont think it is something that will sort itself out. Hope this helps
if you decide to change the idle stepper motor it is really easy only held on by two bolts and very easy to get to. you can get the parts from most motor factors for about �45 pounds and fit it yourself in under five minutes. pull off the electrical plug connectiona dn undo the two bolts then reassemble. you dont need the citroen diagnostic machine to re-set everything either. i should know use to work for citroen.
