Idle control motor. 1.0 12v

[matt-walker]

Ive had my car a few months now and when i first got it.. it was alright but i think my driving may have killed it =/
Luckly i work in a garage so i have access to 2 poster ramps and a launch diagnostic machine. i ran launch and it told me i had a few faults.. one of them was my idle air control motor, my mentor told me how they are a common fault on vauxhall so i replaced it. ive also replaced my crankshaft sensor as it came up with a fault but launch still finds a fault with that. i have also replaced my M.A.F sensor because i fried it with a pipercross =/. Anyway, my problem is that on nearly every journy i make, i touch the throttle a little to get moving and the revs continue to rise, i have to hold on the break and raise the clutch to keep them down untill i feel them falling. also sometimes, pulling up to junctions and lights, i dip my clutch to the floor, the whole car shakes and the engine stalls.. im wondering if it could be because ive changed some of the above parts

please help if you can

actualy, may have fixed it.. when i originaly had the problem with the motor, i tensioned up the throttle cable a little with the adjuster, may not have moved it back far enough. could this cause the problem?

Can i ask why you are ashamed to have a 1liter?

Yer not very quick of the line but they still go.

yeah.. it gets above a ton eventualy but not without a few lights up on the dash for about a week afterwards..
i mean my car looks decent, and its cheap to run but theres not that much you can do to a 1L realy is there? i mean i had a pipercross on it and it threw a fit

We'll they wern't designed to be zooked up. There alright when they work but a bugger when not.
