its not like normal revving its takin the piss revving, like between 1-3k :|

and barely idling

yeah get em dirt cheap, they simply undo might get a little loss of coolant, plug new one in away ya go, hopefully sorted, these engines rev all over the place any way its just gotta be accepted, although mine dosnt lol

ah rite i c it now, ill go and have a look

very easy to change, 2 min job, see in my engine pic the coolant pipe coming out the rad to the thermostate on the bottom left hand side of picture.
See there is a light blue plug to the left of the pipe, thats the coolant tepm sensor, simply unbolts and bolt back in

damn :mad:

theres sum sensor sumwhere thats makin the car not idle properly and i suspect its sumthing to do with the air control sumwhere, there aint any split pipes, and its a brand new iacv so dnt really know, but i cant afford to go around changing sensors left right and centre

i always have trouble with the small, tight as fuck wire breaking on the end of the plug on the air mass meter and causing the ecu light to come on. dont affect the revs or the eingine in any way tho

it basically tells the engine what temperature the air intake is at to get the correct air/fuel mixture (i think lol)

so u reckon it cud be that air meter thingy thats causing the revs to be gay?

wot does a map sensor do

and yours will have a map sensor where as a c16xe doesnt

smae job really as the Air Flow Meter, but it does it better and is more reliable, it basicaly mesures the amount of air entering the engine and the reading is used to adjust the fueling accordinly

yea i think it mite be that then, wot does that do?

the thing with an orange plug is the air mass meter, not air flow meter
You DONT have an Air Flow Meter

wots that on the top of the pipe that goes to the air box?

and sassy yours is a ecotec so it wont have one

i have a spare working one

no i dont understand :(

ill go and take sum pics of my engine bay now and can u point em out for me?

so its between the red silicone pipe and the black rubber pipe thats going to the throttle body, the throttle body is bolted to the left habd side of the Manzel power box if ya get me

thanks hunny

See the red silicone pipe after the filter, it goes to a silver/grey oblong thing, thats the AFM, you dont have one on your X16XE'd corsa you will have a Air mass meter,
