Definately the Idle control valve, happened to me when I fitted my Induction kit :(

Car was under warrante and it was done for free :D

All the mechanics were arguing who would take it for a test drive :lol:

My local vauxhaul asked for £76 of my english pounds for this service of just finding out what was wrong, and I laughed and said I'm not paying that - and they said 'you won't find it any cheaper any where else' - I just walked out :mad:

Lying cunts, glad I didn't pay em.

I've got a problem with my idle control valve atm - but I'm living with it, it only kicks in when you slightly come off the throttle + slightly go back on, providing you keep your foot down the idle valve stays open and it drives fine.

Yeah I know that when it first happened we were in Livingstone and had to drive back all the way to Kirkintilloch and the M8 is terrible for the 40 MPH restrictions, I was shitting myself incase we broke down.

i beleive he could pick it up but that would be at a charge me thinks, i was £40 from Stoney to Arbroath not sure how much it would be for you. I would say just try your hardest to get it there, keep the revs up and you should be ok :)

Yeah I'll give him a phone tonight only thing is I don't know how I'll get my car to Arbroath as it's a nightmare to drive just now with it keeping cutting out.

My engine immobilizer light in my corsa is constantly on and whenever I go below 20mph it cuts out and I have to restart my engine. I know that I need to get this looked at and am getting it looked at but I just wondered if anyone had ever had this problem, is so what was the problem and how much did it cost to fix?? :(
