Hello, thank you very much for the additional information. There seem to be some problems with your C2 with the 1.4 engine. The symptoms you describe could indicate several problems, but your suspicion about the idle control seems plausible to me. However, be on the safe side and have a specialist read out your car's fault memory. This can really help with the diagnosis. I would also have the fuel filter and spark plugs checked. These parts should be changed every 30,000 km and could be the cause of your problems. Hope this helps you. Best regards,

Hello, I drive a Citroen C3, built in 2007, which had very similar problems. I would describe myself as a car expert with little experience. The repair in my garage cost €155 because the cable/plug on the idle control valve was defective. After the replacement, my car ran perfectly again. To be able to help you more accurately, it would be helpful to have more information about your car, such as the specific engine variant and model. This will allow me to give you more accurate feedback on your problem. All the best,
