I recently bought my 94 corsa gsi with a blown motor, so the shop i took it to installeda X16 instead of the original C16 spec engine for that year model. I am 95% sure they used my existing ECU and i dont believe they put that EGR crap on the exhaust system either. I am pretty new to corsa's so i was wondering if anyone thinks this could be a problem? From my other posts the car runs fine except for a pronounced flat spot from about 3.5k to 4.5k, and the fact the engine doesnt wanna rev when cold, it splutters up the rpm range like its missing or sumthing (feels like same symptom as water in the airbox).........hmmm i better check that i flushed the radiator the other day and i may have gotten some water in there.

change the CTS sensore - that should help the problems when cold

as for the flatspot, is the air filter clean? no vacuum leaks?

my GSi (X16XE) sufferes about the same with that flatspot & I have a pipercorss induction kit fitted...

where would i find the CTS sensor, i believe theres coolant sensors in the radiatior and somewhere else, which one does the ECU use? Exactly where is the one the ECU uses? Thanks

Its the one with the blu plug in the thermostat housing.

Follow the big 'S' hose on the top right of the rad to the engine
