Hi there, new guy here having just bought a 1997 2 litre s ulysse yesterday. Seem pretty good except for a tendency to stall - not got a manual for it yet so does anyone have any pointers as to what might be up with it and how to cure it please?

Hi,
Assuming it has not just been done a good service and a check over at a local garage would be a good start.

I have heard this is down to the idle control valve. My Ulysse does the same thing, and I've just bought a new valve on eBay. I'll fit it in the next week or so and let you know how I get on. Apparently this is a common fault on the Ulysse/Synergie/806. My problem gets worse when I switch the aircon on, the idle goes haywire. 
It's pretty close to the throttle linkage - here's the one I bought on eBay, might be worth contacting the seller to see if he's got any more.

Normd, don't know if you've seen my post on the other, similar thread, but I've fitted the valve and it's made a huge difference. No more stalling.
Was a very quick, 5 minute job. The valve is screwed in to the side of the throttle linkage, just to the left where the throttle cable ends. If you look at a picture of one you'll recognise it when you look in your engine bay. You'll need a torx 15 allen key to get it out, I bought one of these off ebay too for pennies.
I think the fella I bought the valve from has a few more, so would be worth your while looking on eBay. It was advertised as a Peugeot 806 idle control valve and fits a lot of Peugeot and Citroen models as well as the Ulysse.
