You need the car too run at 900rpm on idle or it will fail on low flow rate

If you have an X14XE engine in your 'B' (1.4 16v ECOTEC), what does it idle at?

Mine in the Astra seems to idle at about 550-600rpm... Bought a new O2 sensor this morning and fitted it but no difference, gonna buy an idle stepper motor and CTS on monday and see if changing them makes a difference.

Do you think my car will fail the MOT because it idles at such a low speed? (MOT is due on tuesday...)
