Corsa running very rich

Post by DAV3L5 »

Hi there,
I'm new to the forum after searching for answersfor hours :( I'm hoping someone can help here.

My other half has a 1.4CDX corsa B, and it's running very rich and using a lot of fuel. It stuggles to get the revs up when started, has a lumpy idle and judders when driving with light throttle. It seems fine when your foot is planted apart from the grey smoke out of the back.
I checked the ECU for codes (using the paperclip guide on here - Thanks=D ) It being the 16 pin 56.5 config i got a code of 0170. Looking this up it's come back as a 'fuel trim' fault. This of course makes sense but does anyone know how to go about fixing it? Hopefully someone can post back with any ideas of suggestons.

Thanks in advance
