how can i make my corsa rev higher? as it sometimes revvs below 500rpm when i slow down at the lights or something :S it sometimes feels as thought its going to stall, it gets really shakey but then slowly rises? is there a way i can change it so it wont drop or if it does make sure it is still higher than 1000? cheers!
