Weird stuttering while accelerating my 405

Ok, a friend just bought a 1994 405... the car is almost brand new :eek: Like 40,000 miles on it... everything works perfectly fine, except something weird happens when he accelerates the car gently... the car kind of stutters a few times before it starts to accelerate... he needs to push the pedal a bit more for the car to react... doesn't happen everytime, but he gets it at least 10 times a day...

We've been thinking it might be a dirty fuel filter or the timing being off, but I don't know much about this engines (peugeot)... anybody have a clue what could be causing this?

hi there !
i have a 95 peugeot 405 !
does it do that when accelerating or even when you press gas while the car is idling !?

it is probably the fuel filter !
BTW : 405 hesitates when it is not warmed up !

Thanks for your reply... I have another question, do you know what kind of spark plugs and the amount of gap I should use when replacing them?

Thanks in advance! :)

i just use the genuine peugeot plugs specific for my 405 !!
remember the genuine ones not the france imported ones !

they are already regapped and better that all the other bullshit out in the market !
the replace them every 20000km and i have no problems with them ! and they don't cost a lot !

if you need any help with the 405 just ask here or PM me and i'll try to reply as soon as possible !

BTW : it 's a great car ! i have a 95 405 and it has 97000 km and damn this car is really reliable :)
