not really mate as 99.9999999% of corsas suffer with this so chances are 2nd hand one wouldnt last long anyway :(

nah flamered you're right, cleaning is only a temporary measure but new ICVs are around 70 notes so ill give mine a blast with carb cleaner me thinks :thumbs:

tell u what, this was happening to me have cleaned it twice now and it lasts for a certain amount of time, but then it gradually comes back, thinking i might need a new ICV. either that or it is something else as i still have the problem, just not as bad. the light only stays on for a few seconds and so it doesnt register it as a fault! :mad:
