idle trouble and cutting out.

Post by joehandley94 »

Hi, new member here.
I have a 1999 T reg. 1.2 16v corsa b.

It starts fine but when idleing its at very low revs (below 1000rpm)
and when the engine is cold it cuts out when clutch is down and car is slowing down. (sometimes when warm too)

when the engine is warm the car sometimes revs itself when idleing but not all the time.

I have changed the Idle Control Valve for a brand new one and problem still happens.

All engine management sensors were changed 6 months ago (cam, crank, MAF, accelerator, temperature, lambda).


any help please?

Were the sensors generic or genuine ? Corsas tend to just break genric parts quite quickly
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

they were al genuine parts i think, the idol control valve ive just changed is generic, but it was still doing it straight after i changed it so doubt it would have broke it that fast

Have you had the codes cleared since replacing the parts
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Yeah if the ecu is storing old codes it could be throwing itself off
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
