Running prob

Post by corsamadlad »

Hi,
Just bought my 1st Corsa B best shape i personally think.
I bought it of a friend and was told its a 1ltr and 3cylinders on a X plate.

It ticks over but is running on 2 cylinders.

The lady who had it b4 me had spent £150 on it 2 weeks b4 (i bought it for £150) ;-)
She got told that the crank sencor is causing it to run on 2 cylinders is this a possibilty as i myself cant c it bein that.

Not to bothered about engine as will drop a red top in but need it as run around till summer is here b4 can really get to work on car

thanks

if you have a multi meter the easiest way to check the ckp sensor would be to check for resistance between the 2 terminals.

i would also check the spark plugs and ht leads make sure you have a spark
