You should also clean the idle control valve, and the EGR. Both how to's are in the Corsa b FAQ. The description and details are excellent and easy to follow. You should also look at blanking the EGR valve off.

yea sounds like a faulty sensor
only way to fix is trial and error or get sumone to do a diagnostic on it
not sure a paperclip test wud work with it being a c20xe

[phil1981]

had similar problem to you and new crank sensor did the trick

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO HAVE LOOKED AND REPLIED...
JUST ANOTHER QUICK ONE....WOULD THE PAPERCLIP TEST WORK AS IVE GOT A DIFFERENT ENGINE IN IT???
SURELY IT WILL PROVIDE DIFFERENT DATA AS THE ECU WOULD BE AN ASTRA GTE(OR WATEVEA THE DONOR CAR IS') ECU NOT CORSA GSI???
JUST THOUGHT...
