corsa sport 1.4

Post by sam_sport »

hi, im new :D & i have a corsa sport 1.4 16v 1998 model and ive had it ust over a week, and when i turn the iginiton the revs fluctuate up and down, and when i actually put it into gear to go it hesitiates for power!

i thought it might be the mass air flow meter but after some research to it my corsa doesnt have one????!?

any ideas on what might be wrong with it ?

thanks for the help :)
but this morning it wouldnt start....i got it to start eventually
:/
could the spark plugs really cause all these problems?

where would i find the idle control valve?

and how much is an average price to replace it?

thanks :D
