going to check sparkplugs and distributer cap now, hopefully wont have to touch this, thanks for all replies :thumbs:

lol you got a 1.4 16v these things are a nightmare to get to, and when ya get there its only a mater of 2 screws, i got a 1.6 16v same engine layout and changed this valve myself, basically you gotta remove, thetop of the inlet manifold to get to it,the fuel pipes off the fuel rail, header tank, battery, plastic cam cover, its a pain, just be patient, no need to reset ecu it will do this once you had the battery dissconnected for a while

haynes says stuff about resetting adaptive ecu settings at a vauxhall dealer!!!

can anyone post a photo with a big arrow or something of where it is?

star shape is easier to understand :lol:

you meen a torx thingy lee?

u need a star shaped thingy or woteva they are :lol: undo them both and it comes out. if you have the money just replace it as cleaning it will only remove some of the shit and wont take long to clog again. 59 quid plus vat from vauxhalls

what do i need to remove? how do i clean it? is it all in the haynes manual???

remove it and clean it with carb cleaner.

so how can i cure this??? 1.416v and its done 116000 miles now, could it be the idle valve?

Yeah but it just dont sound right!

probably iscv, common problem, and people wonder why i have a corsa td, its done about 4 times as much milage as people petrol corsas on here, and i have never had a single engine related problem other than starter packing up.

idle valve?

when i first start it its ok, then the revs will drop and it will cut out, when i try to start it up again its asif its flooded and takes quite abit to start, then the revs take ages to drop when i taken my foot off the accelerater and once the revs got higher, gonna check spark plugs n dizzy cap on sunday but what could it be if its not these that need changin or cleanin:boggle:
