[Peugeot-L] 87 505 STX Engine error code

There is an LED on the dash that gives a repeating 5 flash code. When it does this the idle is very rough and the engine will generally die within a minute. If I turn the ignition completely off, then back on again, it will clear the error "most" of the time. I do not have a manual for this car yet, so I am hoping that someone on the list will know what it means.

I just purchased this car last night and have a few other things that OnI could use help on too...

The clutch must be pushed all the way in to operate and takes quite a bit of force. I'm wondering if this is an adjustment, or if there is a fix that needs to happen.

The fan is always on and cannot be adjusted by the lever on the dash. (I need to figure out how to remove the front cover of the console so I can look into that one, probably just disconnected)

Shifting is very rough and the gear stick seems a little loose, this may just be digging down into the linkage and making sure everything is tight.

On the upside, the car has significantly more power than the 85 505 2.0L STI that I have. SO I'm looking forward to a road trip or two in the next few months.
