Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

Hi this is my first post. I have a Corsa B 1.0 2000 which is running very badly. What is happening when I start the car is sometimes it will rev ok other times it just will not rev unless I turn it off and start it again.

I have cleaned and checked the EGR, Lambda, MAF and the accelerator sensor. I have replaced the air filter and spark plugs.

When I was cleaning the carburettor I noticed some oil in the pot, which I don’t think should be there. (Photo's attached)







Any advice on what I can do to get the car running properly?

what exactly is the car doing?

is it misfiring?

that oil looks as if its come through the breather pipes from the cam cover

No misfiring, the car has flat spots when driving.

I have cleaned all breather pipes.

have you tried doing a paper clip test?

Can't do paper clip test it's a X10XE engine 12v

ah right i should have read your writing more thoroughly what you can do tho is buy vauxhall diagnostic readers of ebay that just simply plug into your diagnostic port on your car and that will list the fault with your car on your laptop screen after you'v installed the software, my mate has on and its a good system it helps alot

I have the ELM 327 but the software does not work on my 2000 1.0 litre engine it has the 16 pin socket.

Which software is your mate using?

im not sure but it works on his 1L corsa, and on my 1.4 16v corsa... if thats any help

have you removed the idle control valve and given it a quick clean?

if you no how to download torrents so if you n find a progrm alle vauxcheck
