hi guys,
i just bought a corsa 1.0 12v 2000 on a v plate with 82k for cheap ,needs a wee bit o tidy'ing up and the plan is a redtop convertion,but i need it to run around in the meantime but the engine management light is on the guy i bought it from said he had the mass air flow changed but its still runs like a bag o nails so i took it to a mechanic i know and he plugged in his wee handheld diagnostic and it came back as the mass air flow, it starts and drives but it is missing and when you stop or slow right down at a roundabout or lights and pull off again it goes for a couple of meters say then it losses all power and then like it bump starts itself.any help would be much appreciated
sounds like you mite need to change the airflow meter again. when your mate put it on the diognostics did he clear the fault code for your? if not the ecu cud think the broken air flow meter is still fitted and cause it to run rough.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts
hi the other day my engine management light came on untill i turned off my engine, but nothing was wrong it ran fine ive recently put a cone filter on i wonder would that cause it ??
My engine management light comes on randomly, mines the EGR valve and it does it sometimes when im starting the car cold but turn it of for about a minute and the light clears, Hope this helps
