	Hows that cause it to missfire though :S and idle shit?

	Yea, CTS is coolant temperature sensor, change that first off - was about £16 from Vauxhall I think, and takes 5 minutes with a spanner. Probably even cheaper from AutoVaux as well.

Shall have to go have a look at it this week

	Corsa with EML and a 3,000rpm idle What would cause this, AFM?! I know on my XE the AFM was dodgy and idle was stupidly high and revved eratically! Looking at a cheap run about 1.4 sport with the above problem, just wondering if it could be as simple as the AFM?! :thumbs:
