Thank you so much for the video. I cleaned the control valve and sprayed it with a carb cleaner and it has been idling normally and I left the car on for 10 minutes, and drove off and parked at the mall and it hasn't gone back to idling like before.

Very good video, I just think it would have been nice to see the car idle before the work to see the difference between before and after.

I like the way you explain step by step. Shows you have a quality of patience and a good teaching ability. I'm currently about to replace the alternator belt of my corsa (not the one with the teeth). Not sure how but would've loved to see the video of that same Corsa belt being replaced. Couldn't actually find any videos of that model for the belt replacement. You might be one of the few or the first then!

Thankyou sir for this informative video...I have corsa 1400 with erectic high idling speed-I removed the cable from the idling body when I was experiencing the high speed. This made no difference to the idling(lower or higher)..Will try your method of cleaning and see what happens.

It helped me and how should I clean the other sensor which is close to idle sensor?

The vidoe are a big help can you please add a video on how to adjust or re-adjust the gear linkage for a opel corsa b 1997 model

Hi Gary.This clip helped me tremendously!Do you have more clips of the opel corsa? I do battle with mine. You`re help will be great.Regards.

I just took my top for ingeneering and now it has a 1.5 rev idle Opel Astra g 2.0 16v

Thanks a lot I ll do it coz I was stressed

Thank you for that information on the throttle valve. George

Hi I replaced the unit with a new one but it's still cranky. Auto elec told me I must set the valve to 28 mls. How do I set it without damaging it and also he said that I should reset computer by switching ignition on and of 15 times. Should I do that before I connect the unit or after

Thank you very much, I have an opel Astra f 1996. My idle is going up and down. Will that be the same process?

Can you please do a video on how to adjust /readjust the gear linkage on a opel corsa b 1997

Hi there, corsa does start property in the morning, it has a miss and I must keep it on a rev

My opel corsa's engine light goes on when driving and it switches off at a stop,what can it be?

I have a corsa lite that idles very slow and when I press the accelerator the car dies I will try this method but what are the other things to hold in to consederation?

My erratic idle only started after i replaced my thermostat as the old one was stuck open and my car was running cold...but with cold running the carvwas idling fine..changed icv, tps..still does the same..but when i disconnect the Map sensor and block off the pipe , then it idles, but not 100 percent..

CAN YOU MAYBE DO A TUT ON HOW TO REPLACE A OPEL CORSA 1.4 CRACKSHAFT SENSOR

Thanks for this great video. I battle with my NP200 16V. Revs go up and down. When car is hot after 40km the idle is too low +-400 - 500rpm. I've cleaned the Idle Control Valve as you've shown. The idling gets better, no more up and down idling, but it still starts cold at about 1500rpm and as it gets warmer it idles okay, but after driving +40km the idling is too low again. I was wondering if I should replace it? I find it hard to clean the throttle body, since it is not accessible without removing the filter housing, which is covering the throttle body. Anyway, thanks for your great videos. Love the step-by-step way of showing your work.

I would like to know how does the tps sensor work the one next to the ICV

Great video helped with my Daewoo lanos 1.3 .... Local is lekker man !!!!

Thanks man car is driving smoothly now😁👍🔥

Thank you 🤝

Hi. I had the same problem and cleaned the valve with Q20. The bakkie was doing well for a couple of weeks and doing exactly the same again. Does this mean that i need to replace the part or should i keep lubricating the valve? Thanks for the video!

Another informative video thanks Garry

Hi there. Can i use Throttle Body Cleaner or WD-40 if i don't have a Carb Cleaner?

Thank you ❤❤

Perfect video, first hit. Thanks you. My Corsa 160i has problems idling and drops to a stuttering 500 rpm. Could this be the same cause for the problem?

Good day, I have a Opel Corsa Lite 1.4 2006 Model. I tried to start one morning and nothing. We went through the vehicle all relays work, petrol pressure 100%, CAM Shaft sensor is replaced, fuses checked, Spark plugs and battery and wiring checked…. No faults on above…. Vehicle taken for diagnostics test, no errors picked up at all. What else can be the cause? Please help

My Opel corsa 1.4 pick up has an electrical problem, it doesn't start and the cluster is jammed when I turn it I only get the engine light the rest of the light remain dark Please help

Great video, my Chevrolet Utility idles very rough when it is cold. Could this be the idle control valve? The revs don't climb or drop just idling is very rough. Once the car is at operating temp it is 100%. Thoughts?

Hi, I got a 2001 Opel corsa 1.6 bakkie I remove the battery to replace the gear selector shaft seal, after seal replacement fit back the battery to start and test. Now it battles to start and when i get ot to start it's not revving up

Baie dankie vir die deel, ek het self n corsa en sukkel ook met n idle probleem, sal dit probeer👍

Hi, I'm currently having similar idle problems with my Opel Corsa lite 2007 model. It went away for a while when I replaced the plugs. When stop at a robot the idle needle goes up and down and then sometimes it cuts out. I must tell you though that the car has an older problem which is the water temperature sensor connector. It's faulty so I disconnected it as I'm trying to source a new one. The second stage of the radiator fan didn't kick in and so the car kept overheating. To stop that I disconnected the connector for the water temp sensor. It goes into default mode where the fan is constantly blowing hard. Back to the idling problem...I've literally replaced everything from the coil pack to the spark plugs and crank sensor. I cleaned the IAC valve a month back and it seemed to steady the idling problem for a while. It was very dirty when I pulled it out and cleaned it. The problem has come back. How strong is the possibility that I just need to replace the IAC valve with a new one? Otherwise if it's not that then I can only conclude that it's mechanical inside the engine and then I have to take it in. I'm hoping it's not. Please help

I recently bought a 2002 Opel Corsa GSi and have been using quite a lot of fuel (R950 in 2 weeks). What could the reason for this be and what should I have checked out? Thank you in advance.

Hi I done that but I pressed the spring in while cleaning can I still put it in

I have this problem.any advice on what to do.the fuel consumption is high

I bought another idle control valve, when turn the ignition on, so that it adjusts. The whole spring from the valve jumped out. Is that normal or the new idle control valve faulty?

on a cold start the car doesnt idle very high, (1200rpm) could this also be valve thats dirty? when the car has warmed up she idles perfectly fine. only on a cold morning start i would expect it be around 1800rpm until it has reached it operating temp. Thnk you for you advice

I have an Opel Corsa B 1.4 I 2001 model the car isn't leaking any coolant however the heat gauge reaches 100 when standing still, when drive it drops to about 95, the fan use to kick in at 90 and I think the thermostat is removed. Do you have any video s diagnosing this problem? Would appreciate it thanks

Hi I'm having the same problem on my 1.4 corsa bakkie

Great video mate very helpful 👍🏼

Hey. I have a 1997 Corsa 1.3. She idles normal, however, every now and then, the idle drops for a split second, and the drop is very small. I was wondering if it might be the Idle air control valve or the throttle position sensor. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have daewoo lanos 2002 model and the idling is high and I don't know how to fix it

My 1400 Corsa lite needed a new crank sensor. We replaced that as the car just kept on dying on its own for no reason. After the replacement was put in. The car would drive but as i got to a Red traffic light, breack and place it in neutrel. the car would die on me. Then here and there it would feel like it is about to die as i press the petrol pedal. It would smother while pressing the petrol. We started the car and waited for the sensor to put it on 1000 RPM. then we disconnected the valve. and now it is running without a problem. Will the cleaning also help with my problem Or do i need a replacement ?

What plugs does that car take because got the same car wanna know what the best spark plugs for that car

Nice one

Hi. I have a 1.8 Corsa Utility. I cleaned the Throttle body sensor and the erratic idling was still there. I replaced the sensor... Still no luck. The problem is not constant but intermittent. I also replaced the temp gauge sensor on the block. Any ideas?

Thank you so much!

Good video, very helpful.

Hi My opel corsa 1.4 2002 is not idling correct I had it at a mechanic and the put it on the computer and it showed there is no problems and the reset the computer .I have replaced the idling control valve but it still gives tbe same problem it jumps from 800rpm to 1200rpm please help

I have a 1.4 Corsa utility bakkie. I tried starting it the other day and started but it was weak and hesitated. When I stepped on the accelerator to rev it, it died. It has a weak idle and a very low rev count. I've taken it to a repair garage with the same problem once before. I need help

Thanks, found this helpful for my 2003 Opel Astra. Pity can't take it for much of a drive now during lockdown.....

Would this throw a p1030 code??

My problem is that the engine light is on some time. When its on and you step on the fuel it dips before the refs climb. When the light goes off sometime and you then step on the fuel the car responds like lightning. I replaced mine with a new generic unit and the idle went way high. Then i cleaned the old one i the idle was fine. Can it be the TPS sensor??

I have been having an idling issue with my 1.4 Corsa lite for a few months now. It revs high when I stop and sometimes when the idle drops to what it's supposed to be the car will lose power and cut out when I step on the accelerator. I have changed the idle valve many times, with a generic/pirate. I have recently installed an original but second hand part. The car was running smoothly for a few weeks until it acted up again. I'm hoping your solution will work. If it does not, do you think I should purchase an original from GM?

thanks you can you tell me how to clean tps sensor for owl vectra I'm from Jordan

great video!!!!

Hi guys I do have problem my Corsa B just click don't start

Im having a problem with my corsa it has a hard start and is not reving

Hy guys this idling senor can couse engine light but the rev stays on 100

Hi sir my 2005 corsa sedan idle when cold when hot I dont want to idle. When take the plug of idle sensor it doesn't do anything

Hi Good video. You don't come across many corsa lite mechanic videos. I have a Corsa Lite Sport 2007 which I have had a constant issue with since I've owned it. I have replaced: 1. IDLE VALVE 2. TPS SENSOR 3. CLEANED THROTTLE BODY 4. NEW RADIATOR 5. GASKET COVER 6. TAPPET COVER 7. ALL 4 FUEL INJECTORS. Miss fire and high idle was temporarily fixed after maintainence, but issue has now come back and still persists. The interesting thing about my corsa is that the idle fixes itself temporarily if l have driven a bit and let the engine warm up and then turn off the motor and back on again. After the car restarts the idle generally is fixed. However if I let the car stand over night and cool down, the issue comes back until l hqbe repeated the temporary fix. Any ideas? I'm at a loss as what to do. I am situated in Cape Town.

❤

Greetings please tell I have a problem with the corsa bakkie stalling. How can i solve the problem.

Dag se ek het corsa diesel 1.7 dti 16v as ek opdrant ry het hy nie krag nie

I did clean mine doesn't help i even buy new ones still having high rev

Issue of power couple

Hi oom wat as dit nie die probleem is nie want ek het ge doen wat oom ge doen het en my bakkie maak nog so

IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IN MY CORSA LITE

NEVER attempt to clean them! they will cease up, re-calibration is simply by pushing the pintle back few mm , fit, allow ecu to calibrate, wait till idle speed is reached (under load) - may take a minute or two - NO NEED TO REV THE ENGINE!!! remember; the ecu calibatres according to the icv reference point - not the other way around!!

Great job 👏🏽!! I wish we had a Corsa Lite WhatsApp group so that we can help each other

Ek het ń 2004 14i opel corsa
