no it wont be the timing belt. They are pre-tensioned so no worries there. As far as timing belts go, they are either ok, or snapped, the latter meaning your car aint going nowhere!

wiring loom - all my problems was due to that, it was sending wrong error codes to my ecu, so when i changed what was wrong it dident fix my problem (erratic and high idaling)

i had a simular problem with my corsa b all it was was the heat sensor/thermostat was reading the wrong temp and sending wrong readings to ECU and the injectors were flooding the engine! just changes the thermost chip and it was fine after that! try that mate!

With your engine ticking over pull the pipe of the MAP sensor and put your finger over the end and you will feel it sucking

hi there, my mate has a bravo, n he had the same symptoms. he needed a new cam belt and also there was no oil gettin to the engine so more petrol was bein used to compensate for this, so that wud explain ure shite mpg.

hope this helps, Marc
