    Could be an air sensor or a lambda sensor (or a number of other things). It would need a plug in diagnostic check.

    Coolant temp sensor or throttle position sensor are 2 more to check.

    Diagnostic is the only way to go.

    Cracked or split hose also possible IMO.

    True, but it's a Renault.
    Bound to be electrical!

    The two most common causes of hunting on the Renault 16 valve engines at least are not electrical.
