Corsa b Issue

Post by twisted_lemon »

I have a 2000 Reg Corsa B, 1.2 16V with 76K on the clock has been sitting for two months.

Anyway, the battery gone on it, I went to jump start it and every time I finished revving the car, it would idle down to 300RPM, the engine would shudder like it is going to stall and would build itself back up.

When driven slightly it stalled twice.

Any idea's?

Is the EML on atall? Sounds like a maf so try unplug it and see if it runs better

Other than that get the codes read and see what comes up
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Nope that's not on, I've tried started the car with the MAF unplugged and it stalled quickly both times.

Does the EML come on when you switch ignition on? And then go out?

I'm thinking air leak tbh so just while or out at it check the ducting after the maf for any holes or tears

Will do, I don't remember hearing any air leaks when revving, and thank you!
