1st thing: when i reverse out the drive in the morning my acelerator sticks but it isnt the acelerator its just the revs that stick.dont think corsas have a accelaration cable do they??
also i failed my MOT on the emitions+the macanic said it was the valve that attatches to the manifold.cnt remember wat its called.
how much will these cost????????
cheers cooki

1) They do have a throttle cable. Sounds like a common fault of a sticking idle control valve. Needs to clean it out with carb cleaner
2)If he's right then its the lambda sensor

ICV is on the throttle body. It's a pain to get to, buy a haynes manual, it'll help you loads more than anyone trying to describe it on here 
Lambda, dunno, but I think they're quite pricey. Scrappy maybe?

could be, but if it's not, it'll be cheaper than getting a brand new one.
check the price of a new one anyway
