Parts are cheap
Temp Sensor about £10
Idle Control Valve about £40
Throttle Position Sensor about £25
1st is a piece of piss to fit
second hard to fit
third is a nightmare

no sign of any warning lights. Are any of those three things easy to fix for a novice? All this months wages is going on getting my bodykit fitted and an optima yellow top battery, so i cant afford garage bills too! :lol:

has ya ECU light come on on the dash, if so read the code using the paper clip method, if not, it sounds like 1 of three things, temp sensor, Idle air control valve, or throttle position sensor?????

Similar sort of thing happened with my old sport and it just needed the plugs and leads changing

my car has stalled about 10 times in the last week randomly, when i put the clutch down. Revs drop from whatever they were at down to about 200 then it stalls. Also, if i turn it on it sometimes revs up to like 2500 without any input from me, drops right back down again then either stalls or goes back to normal. Any ideas?! Im thinking the ECU might be faulty or something, but i dunno why it would be. Corsa B 1.4 8v SRi in case that helps! Cheers, Matt
