my new one is alot slower aclceration and when i start the engine i have to
rev it hard it it will stall and not start as the revs just dnt pick up and i need help
and am thinking that it maybe be beacuse i need to get new oil filter new
spark plugs and a new air filter anything else that you think could be done

Mass Air Flow Meter also could be what is causing you problem mate, have a look on ebay for one, you can pick one up for 30/40 notes

Hi

PPl im a noob so go easy on me plz

Just brought a v corsa 1.2 sxi 1999 16v

few things i would like to know, when i driving along and i accelerate then quickly let go of the accelerator my revs continue to go up for a slight while (litterally only a few seconds).. but i is annoying, when driving and i go to change gear i am off the accelerator then onto clutch and cause the revs are still climbing it causes it to rev really high (as if i still on the accelerator)... if i come off the accelerator wait a second or so then onto clutch it's fine but to me this isn't right... i've drove other cars and as soon as your off the accelerator the revs are dropping.. does my throttle cable need adjusting or something? anyone else had this problem?? or am i just poo at driving lol

Also have a gear problem every so often, not regular but sometime i can't get car into 1st clutch pedal flat to floor but car refuses to go into 1st any idea's....

And car is cam chain driven, how easy is it to adjust the tensioners or replace as i got a bit of a rattle i not sure but thinking it the chain..

Cheers peep
all help no matter what is greatly recieved

If people know their car needs serviced why don't they do this first? Can save a lot of money.
