Vauxhaul corsa tick over problem

MiNxYyY · 23 Sep 2009 at 18:15

Having trouble with my corsa gls, when im idle my rev's are dropping below 1000 rev's and its hard to pull away. Ive been to my local garage and then want to charge 50 pound to sort it out. Is there anything I can do other than paying the stupid amount of money? Cheers

What? It aint a joke.

It shouldn't be ticking over at 1000+ rpms anyways. About 850 is normal, sometimes a little lower. Check the airbox/MAF etc for leaks before spending wedge for something you could have fixed.

I know shouldnt be over 1000 but atm,when im not revving its about 200 revs.

In that case you either have a dodgy rev counter or it's stalled :confused:

Is 200rpm even possible? Is 50 quid a stupid amount of money??

Get a new car, sorted.

Well i heard that there is a screw inside your engine which the mechanic will turn which lets more fuel in making your idle rev's higher,but a mechanic will charge £50 for this.

go and sign up on www.corsa-c.co.uk (if it is a corsa c). Thats your best bet than asking on here. This place and corsas dont mix, being that there is a large hate for them on here.

It will be a corsa B. Give the throttle body the good news with some carb cleaner

definition of whether or not that £50 is stupid depends upon whats wrong with it

what is the £50 charge for ?

Idle below 1000 is normal no? Most cars I've been in idle at less than that.

It's supposed to idle below 1000, and I doubt it could sustain 200rpm.

I'd be checking the idle control, how much oil is coming out the breather, looking at the ignition circuitry, and interrogating the major sensors with an examiner.

You could buy another Corsa for 50 quid
