The carb has an automatic choke, this is fed with coolant through thin pipes to the carb to heat it up and so switch it off when the engine warms up. Check the pipes are not blocked, and check that the thermostat on the choke unit has not failed. If it is a late car with fuel injection, check the water temp sensor. Good luck...............

Will a Peugeot 306 diesel starting motor fit a peugeot 406 diesel?
If the engine is of the same type it will. ie an XUD engine (1905cc) from one peugeot or citroen will fit another xud type but I do not know if it would fit on a HDi engine. On the 1.9 XUD the starter is the same on turbo and nonturbo models.
What would cause excess fuel usage surging lagging whether running or idling and a drop in battery needle with each lag?
A dirty or clogged air filter would cause excessive fuel consumption, and it could cause the engine to surge, but I'm not sure about the drop in your alternator guage.
Is it wrong to change the carburetor for peugeot 405 for a carburetor of peugeot 404 or 504 would the consumption go down?
my experience is that the original 405 carburetor when functioning well is more economical than fitting a 504 or a 404 carb. the whole 405 carb unit must be functioning well for it to offer good fuel consumption. with it i manage 30mpg in city drive and up to 39mpg highway. the 504 and 404 carbs cannot achieve that, the best they can do is a max of 35 mpg given that the engine and the car in general is functioning well.

No, it would cause the engine to run poorly but not to seize. Lack of lubrication or overheating will cause that. Also a broken part, as in a rod, will cause it to seize.
