I went to my local garage when my light was on and they plugged the thing in and read the code out, was a map reading sensor so he poped it back in n all was fine. Charged me a tenner for it. | |

Idle Air Control Valve, you should be able to change it yourself, as for price I doubt you would have to pay more than £30 for it. | |

I know when mine went for its MOT last time, the emitions were shit so they did something to the throttle/idle settings, and it was idling at about 1.5k too, and the management light kept coming on if it was left to idle for more than 15seconds. | |

Could be a few things, Idle control Valve is a common problem with Corsa B's. Might be one of the bolts in your air induction pipe has come loose, or there is a hole in the pipe, and is flooding it with air. Could also be the Air mass flow sensor | |

Have you had any problems with your speedo recently, i had the same trouble with my sri 1.4 8v but once i checked and tightened up the cable it stopped. | |

The yellow / orangey engine management light came on on my way home from college, it keeps coming on and going off... If I start my car it stays on until the throttle is blipped - and then comes back later... |
