bought a atlantis blue 5 door 1.4 16v p reg corsa b, for £200
only catch is teh engine doesnt run very well, need lots of revs to get the engine started, if revs go below 2k then the engine dies, sounds like its running on 3.
any ideas what it could be?
thanks
Sean

Well then I stand corrected. I thought Deano said that it was only those engines with one, maybe it was something else then.
I'll admit I was wrong, I can handle it

Deano talks shit. That may be where the problem came from.

The cam chain engines have something the 16v 1.4 and 1.6 don't, I swear. Or may be it was the other way round
