Peugeot 1007 poor starting high fuel consumption
Summary of the thread
A 2009 Peugeot 1007 diesel with 216,956 km is experiencing poor starting and high fuel consumption. The initial suspicion is a defective throttle valve, with a possibility of a faulty accelerator pedal module. After further investigation and professional advice, the throttle valve is confirmed as the issue, and replacing it resolves the problem.

Thanks for the quick response! Yes, the engine idle has been a bit rough lately, now that you mention it. Where exactly did you see those sensor readings? I'm trying to avoid replacing random parts, so any specifics would be greatly appreciated.

Given the unstable idle, my professional opinion is that the defective accelerator pedal module is the issue. Though further diagnosis is needed to confirm, it strongly suggests a visit to a trusted workshop for proper diagnostics and repair.

Took your advice and got it checked at a workshop. Turns out it was indeed the throttle valve! New one installed for 205€ and everything is running smoothly again. Thanks a bunch for the help!

I had a similar issue with my 1007. Symptoms sound very familiar. Have you checked the throttle position sensor readings? Erratic readings there could definitely point to a problem with the throttle valve or even the throttle body itself. Is the engine idle also unstable?
