Peugeot 607 Idle Stalling

Having trouble with my 2005 Peugeot 607 (gasoline engine). Check engine light is on, error codes suggest an issue with the idle air control valve. The engine stalls at idle, especially when cold. I suspect a heavily contaminated intake. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I had a similar issue with my 607. Stalling at idle and the check engine light were driving me nuts. Have you checked the air intake for any blockages or excessive dirt? That was the first thing I looked at.

Yes, I've visually inspected the intake, and it does seem quite dirty. Did cleaning it resolve your issue completely, or did you have to replace any parts? And did you have to take your car to the workshop?

Cleaning helped a little, but the problem came back after a short while. Eventually, I had to replace the idle air control valve. Honestly, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop; they'll be able to diagnose it properly. Cost me around 425€ in the end. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I'll take it to a workshop this week and get it sorted. It's good to know what to expect. I will mention the air valve.
