hi sam
thanks alot for the reply.
to disconnect the air temp sensor should i just unplug it from were it leads in to the cover that covers he throttle body ? once this is done what should it look out for should the car run better or will it be abit jumpy ? also if i unplug the plug for the air temp sensor would i need to put anything like a nail or pin where it plugged into to block the hole ?
how do i go about cleaning the ICV valve ?
thank you
Chris.

Re: Corsa Performance Problem
hi all
car is still the same today altho i deacided to go buy some new spark plugs today and see if that made a difference upon removing the old plugs looking at the bottom of them they were all brown and looked burnt and i had only changed them back in november anyways i changed the plugs and car is still running rough.
i am now thinking it is deffinately something air related i was thinking on going to the scrap yard tomorrow and would getting any of the following maybe hel:
New air box with air intake pipes and cover
New ignition coil (just a suggestion)
also would a new set of Ignition leads have any affect ? probably not but am sort of lost for ideas.
i did disconnect the red wire today to see how the car ran without it and still ran bad
anymore help would be really appriciated
thanks alot
