	my 1.2 16v corsa did this and its the idle air control stepper motor thats gone probably best bet is get a diagnostic machine on it and find out, if its what i said then tht'll cost 50 quid brand new from a motor factor place

Could be a million and one things, poor ingnition, inlet leak post AFM, speedo drive in the gearbox (mate had that on his GSI), poor earths etc.

	You on about the EGR now or the idle solenoid? I really don;t see how i can clean the solenoid actualy

	mate, dont use wd40, use some sort of degreaser to clean all the crap out of it!
MikeH	posted on 13th Mar 04 at 12:55
	Right, i took the idle solenoid off and sprayed it with wd40... it comes off choke more smoothly but the problem still occurs. It happens on part throttle or full throttle. Which makes me think the EGR might be jammed open.

	Crank sensor would give more of a problem. Why not fit your air box back on and see if it gets better? Crank sensor about £50. Is it ok on full throttle?

	its not hard to clean it mate, just give it a go u got nothing to lose

	What makes you certain its the idle control valve?

	idle control valve.get a new one
MikeH	posted on 12th Mar 04 at 17:01
	When i'm stopped at light and then try and pull of it quite often loses power almost on the verg of stalling. Definately more than a flatspot. Also the power is uneven through the revs (although that might be the induction kit)

	How much would it cost for one of them?
miles	posted on 12th Mar 04 at 16:58
	Whats your problem?
MikeH	posted on 12th Mar 04 at 16:57
	1.2 16v one is different.... and i've just seen your ebay :) I think mine might be the crank or sam sensor too.
miles	posted on 12th Mar 04 at 16:53
	I guess thats the same as an ICV. Probably the same part as fitted to the 1.4/1.6 16v. It winds in and out, so if its gumed up it wont function properly. Im actually selling a pretty much brand new one of these on ebay at the moment...
MikeH	posted on 12th Mar 04 at 13:35
	My 1.2 16v has an idle control solenoid... is this the same as an idle control valve? Just i can't see much point cleaning a solenoid, it either works or doesn;t.
