Megane 1.6 Start/Idle Problem

Hi all, I know this has been covered in great detail across many posts, but I'm still having problems despite trying a lot of the things recommended.

I don't have a huge amount of money to throw at this, so would prefer to attempt sorting this on my own before booking it into a garage.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The car is a Megane 2004, 1.6 Petrol, Dynamique edition.

Issue

The car stalls 2-3 seconds after starting. I'm able to keep it alive by keeping the revs above 2000, but when I drive it, it wants to stall when pulling away.

On inspection of the engine I noticed the throttle body was beeping, since replacing the throttle body, the beeping has gone but diagnostics shows a P0010 fault code (clearing code brings it back.)

What's been changed
  • New battery (under warranty)
  • New Camshaft sensor
  • Dephaser solenoid (used)
  • Throttle body (used)
  • Oil filter and oil

To note

I've taken the solenoid out and tested it, it read 10 Ohms hooked up to 12V, it seemed to be working fine.

I've also cleaned the air filter, solenoid and throttle body (old and new).

Running the engine with the dephaser solenoid disconnected fixes the issue, but replacing the part did not.
