    So, the the missus was heading for a round about and she cut out on take off, went to start the car and she barely turned the key and the engine didn't fire right.
    She made it around anyway with it down in power and running lumpy, parked up and called me. I started the car and brought it for a blast and it was fine.

    Can they half start, maybe on two or three pots and run roughly?
    The car is due a service, it's over by about 400 miles, could it just be dirty plugs?

    Could be plugs/coilpack/injectors/injector harness/fuel/engine ecu..etc
    Get it plugged into see what fault codes are logged..?

    No warning lights came up and in fareness to Peugeot the center display warns you about everything........

    Could there still be a demon lurking about in there? The car is running perfectly, she has done about 100 miles since the incident

    Change the plugs firstly its not good to leave it you don't want her misfiring or worse knock (premature ignition in cylinder) it can and will cause massive engine wear and issues beyond economical repair. Have her plugged in but it doesn't always show all faults. its worth looking at ht leads and ignition coils but most lightly plugs either worn or improperly gapped. Its worth the effort could be a 20 euro issues about to turn into a new car problem.

    I'll get a set of plugs and leads and see if that assists.
