Mechanics is a relatively logical area. However, if there is one problem that is at times hard to understand, it is unstable idling or loss of acceleration. Whether it concerns a Citroen Spacetourer, or any model of vehicle. However, we are here to help you. Indeed, the origin can come from a good quantity of engine components, even electronic. To find the origin of the breakdown of your Citroen Spacetourer, it will be necessary to respect a strict procedure. But first, let's see the signs of a slowdown idle.
Idling problem on a Citroen Spacetourer: symptoms

Citroen Spacetourer: developing a diagnosis to understand the origin of idling
We have to start by performing various extremely easy checks, before going into more detail.
