Corsa B 1.0 12v Issues...

[F17MJB]

Hello everyone!

Right well a short while ago my little corsa started to lose power when in 3rd gear at around 3500-4000rpm (40-50mph) and i didn't know why..
Now it sometimes has trouble just to fire up!
Just after it has started it will really struggle to get going feels like the car is tryin' to hump the road tbh...
It will struggle to get up hills a lot now even worse than before these problems arose!
And worst of all it doesn't seem to want to go over 50mph!! And the engine management light comes on every trip i do near enough.

It is really getting on my nerves now and was hoping to find an answer to solve my problem before things get to expensive as i became a Daddy on Monday..

Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks a lots guys and girls!!

Mass air flow and Idle control valve replacement should clear this up.
This problem seems to have happened with every corsa pal

Wicked, could i could fit them myself??

[LSKSK]

They're easy as pie

You know where they are?

[F17MJB]

No idea and looking on eBay I've no idea what to buy..

5DR FTW! Had very similar problems to yours mate, changed the Lamda sensor and it still had the problem. Changed the Mass Air Flow Sensor and still had the same problem. Got a new ICV for it and solved some problems but not all. Now when driving the EML comes up but nothing happens, someone said it's the EGR valve sticking so replacing that tomorrow.

Hopes all goes well with yours mate, EGR, MAF sensor and ICV seem to be common problems on Corsa B's. Oh well.

I had to change the MAF and Crankshaft Sensor but seems ok for now.. lol
