It might be. I had this problem before and replaced the MAF (im guessing thats what you mean when you say mas), if so, I paid £35 and it sorted my problem out.

If you have replaced the lambda sensor and the icv (not sure what this is) then it could either be the MAF or possibly its a bunged up EGR valve (find help with that here: http://forums.corsa-b.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=105&t=13605 )

Will need to know the part number from the sensor you removed (or even the engine code - find them here: http://forums.corsa-b.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=104&t=11153 )

Just so you know - i have a 1.2 16v (X12XE) and this is the part I bought from eBay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT

Might not be much use for you though, depends on the part number and engine size/code.

Are you under steady/hard acceleration in fifth gear when the light comes on?
