	after resetting the ecu .....connect battery up....start it up but..DO NOT throttle it as it will settle itself out after coughing spluttering for a little while.......

	I bought the pipe already welded together off somebody elses corsa
Olsrey	posted on 25th Jan 09 at 19:17
	Take the battery off when welding was done?
greg-turbo	posted on 25th Jan 09 at 19:15
	worth a try mate, thanks. If it helps, I bought a straight through pipe with a decat welded on, put that on for a day but it didnt take to it well and it gradually got worse until this happened, ive put the standard exhaust and cat back on with a stainless back box like I used to have and its not changed. Wish I hadnt put the straight through on now :(

	try ALL the vacuum pipes ...they tend to go brittle/break...seen a few on vectra's and corsa's go the same way and give the same symptoms.... just a thought !

	1.4 16v sport - w reg (2000) [Edited on 25-01-2009 by greg-turbo]
Olsrey	posted on 25th Jan 09 at 19:06
	Engine?
greg-turbo	posted on 25th Jan 09 at 19:02
	:( its a 1.4 16v sport (w reg - 2000) Basically it starts up first time every time. the engine isnt rocking or anything, ecu light isnt on. but its: lost loads of power so basically you can hardly drive it smokes quite a bit Doesnt want to get past 3000 revs, stutters n splutters. Its overfuelling big time, stinks of petrol. sounds horrible lol. Im thinking it may be a sensor. Anybody have any ideas? as I cant drive it until its corrected. Thank you, Greg [Edited on 25-01-2009 by greg-turbo]
