ye i do. mine is doing it now and i keep forgetting to sort it. its just a bolt that you unscrew or screw in (i forgot its been that long since i did it on my 1st 1.9)

anyway heres a picture. arrowed the bolt. just try turning it all the way in if that doesnt work screw it out, it connects to a little valve at the back of the fuel pump via a cable

looking closer it looks like you screw it in (towards the pump). but then the cold start is constantly off .. which my 406 didnt bother even on cold mornings it never needed it ..

thats all to do with the cold start system mate... i fixed mine today , the little diapram type thing just the the right of the bolt i told you to screw in ..

well i slightly bent it to the right with a hammer. maybe the cable stretches over time i dunno but now my car is ticking over well under 1k..

just give it a few knocks with hammer . it doesnt take a big hit to move it slightly

its on a bracket. its the bracket you bend so it pulls it across about 8mm
