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,

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

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

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)

could be a slight leak on ya inlet manifold, this is a vey vunrable area, but im sure they would have changed this when fitting ya new ICV, try ya coolant tep sensor, for the sake of about £12 it's worth doing, can cause this see

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
