Sounds like Mass Air Flow meter, mine did the same when it had been stood a while. Started it up and it would'nt rev up at all, just misfired and spluttered like buggary, then was fine after 5 mins of warming up. Also used to hold back at about 4,000 rpm, would'nt go over 80mph in 5th gear. | |

quote: Emmm.....ok lol It is normal for ur car to sit below 1k revs...infact is should be idling between 840/860 . Just like some of the replys a thought it would be the afm. If you know somebody with a similar corsa/eninge, try switching them because tht could still be the culprit. For wot I can gather is your car hesitating when in gear driving? i.e. struggling to make it past 3k revs in 3rd gear but will eventually rev up to the red?? if thts the case then sounds like hesitation i.e. get the timing checked.

after about 3 seconds or so of my foot constantly on the accelerator pedal to see if it sorted itself out it came on, then a second or 2 after i took my foot off it went off. | |

I have been having this problem for quite abit now where i start the car up on a morning and it sometimes idles abit high (just over 1000 revs) and when i rev it the engine lacks power and will not rev, but keeps running. Usually when i strat it up it sits below 1000 revs and all works fine... (after leaving it for 2 or 3 minutes it's fine) |
