1.0L 1997 Corsa Sting 57K miles. Had this car for about a year now and this time last year the ignition light (orange) would occasionaly come on when the car got hot. I changed the engine temp sensor and the light came on less frequently.
During the spring and summer the light has hardly come on - very occasionaly.
Two weeks ago (colder / damp) the light came on and does so nearly everytime I drive the car.
The car starts firsttime (instantly), runs beautifully, accelerates well (for a 1.0L), goes well at 75 - 80 mph, fuel economy excellent - what could this be.
I've sprayed EVERYTHING with wd40 in case it's damp on a connection - no change.
Any ideas anyone? Can I or can't I do a paperclip test on the 1.0L model? I get different opinions! I've been told to short 'top left 2' on the connector BUT it doesn't have top two inserts THEN I've been told pin 6 - again it doesn't have an insert in socket 6! Even when I guessed perhaps the connector pin 1 is in the wrong place and then I'd have a pin 6 to gnd - still nothing.
The inserts in the connector (where 1=insert, 0=no insert i.e. plastic) are:
0 1
1 0
0 0
1 0
1 0
1 0
0 0
0 0
I'm advised that bottom left as you look at the connector is pin1
What else 'drives' this light.
Oh - just done a full service oil, etc etc.
Doesn't leak or burn oil.
Ideas?
