dunno what the engine management light would be wired too if you didnt have an ecu, but im pretty sure older cars used to have em???

perhaps on the 1litre version they have wired the engine management bulb to a dynamo like you get on a bike, and when the wheels turn it lights up?

dudes, im f**k lol. dun wanna spend loads of money in garage

might be missing thats why ur having the problems

right, i had a 1 litre 12 valve corsa and the ecu is lcoated where it is in most corsas, accessible from the drivers side inside the car behind the dash.

12 valvers dont aren\'t carb coz they have a single point injection system, as i think i read simon wrote.

so keep looking mate, its there somewhere!

ive upped the throttle now so it doesnt cut out when i stop but when i stop the engine it doesnt start back up but i have to jump it hard on a hill then it starts again. i have no clue wots goin on

in the fuse box there is a diagnostic port, use that to access the ecu and read off the fault codes, serch for paper clip test.....

I red my Haynes manual as my Dad cudnt find mine and it says behind the glove box on the passenger side facia

Haynes manual says behind the glove box on the passenger side facia... My dad has had loadsa tubble findin mine haha

lol it sed the first time didnt post

its in the kick well !

pull the panel of at the side in fron of the drivers door it will be in there

f**k hell i found it now, it was behind the engine bloke. the engine now stays on cos i uped the throttle but when u turn the engine off u have to bump start it cos it wont start

how did u work tha out then when i can do it to my car. it starts when i roll it down a hill then pull clutch up

should be alright id say, the heat from the exhaust would burn off any petrol in the cat. and as its made of metal it\'ll be fine. maybe if the cat was on its way out.....

[quote=\".\"]you can do it, but it sucks unburnt petrol through the engine which then goes into the cat and f**k it up! also like revving your car and then turning it off immediatley after! when you turn it back on it then put unburnt fuel thro the engine[/quote]

This is only true of carb engines, injection is a tad more sophisticated and should do this unless its mega early set up.



Oh and just to mention all 4vlave per cylnder vx engines are multipoint

so any ideas what could be wrong. doesnt start when i turn the engine off. also it used to cut out but i opened the accelerator now so that it doesnt lol
