My corsa runs fine except when engine light comes on but the light goes off when I put foot on accelerator, it's recently had full service and passed mot and emissions test and still made no difference also changed maf sensor still light comes on, does anybody know wot can be the problem?

Icv at first guess but would need codes read
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
