My Bro in law has a m-reg corsa 1.0 and he has a few running issues.
It start and runs fine untill he has to stop where the engine starts searching and reving up and down... if he puts his foot down on the clutch the engine idles very low (as low as 200revs) and trys to stall.
Prob is he isn't local so any suggestions as to fixing this?

Cheers People

 

the revving up and down sounds like the idle control valve needs cleaning

any noice with the clutch being pressed? (other than the change in engine note due to revs?)

 

Just asked will get a reply in a sec

 

He said he as heard nothing noticable when pressing the clutch

 

Anymore for anymore

 

hmmm, they didnt actully make a 1.0 corsa untill the post 97 facelift came in iirc, which is the ecotech z10xe


as chip said, cleaning out the icv would be my firtst guess

 

on the 1.o corsa im sure the iac valve is a sealed plastic case and cant be cleaned internally .vauxhall advise modified iac motor and also reprogrammed engine software done with tech 2 .which is to stop stalling ,revving up etc

 

its an S-reg

Cheers for the advise Dan druff I'll pass the info on
