As above,

Recently acquired a Corsa TD, and it has had a recon engine fitted, and then it sat doing nothing for about 6 months until we picked it up.

Needs a new starter motor, but we took it for a spin today and theres hardly any power there at all. Its a very "flat" power delivery, almost as if the turbo doesnt even get wound up.

The throttle feels very "short", could this be the problem ? Does the throttle cable need adjusting ?

Cheers,

Phil
