hello, i have a problem with the girlfriends corsa, its sound like it wants to stall on idle, and lights dim up and down when idling
a mechanic (suposedly) done head gasket not been right since

any ideas?, idle control valve?, timing out?, blocked breather?

thanks

What year is the corsa?

[will_omegaCDX]

04-54plate 1.2 16v twinport.

[Welung666]

So that will be the 16 pin diag plug then? (in the fuse box IIRC)

[will_omegaCDX]

i think so, its either in fusebox or when i used to have one it was in the center below the heater controls, does the paperclip test work on it??

[Welung666]

Yep Short out pins 4 or 5 & 6 and switch ign to red lights, same as the mig. Post up the codes and I'll translate

[edit]It will be the 4 number P codes [/edit]

[will_omegaCDX]

spot on mate ill get back to you  

[will_omegaCDX]

just havin a dumb moment is here a sequence the same as the mig?, 12 12 12, or is it different??,

[Welung666]

It'll be different as it's Pnnnn codes, so no start sequence code. No flashes = no codes stored.

[edit]Don't forget 10 flashes = 0 [/edit]

I wondered why you asked for pictures

i would check valve timing may be one tooth out on cams . :-/ as a guess

Has the earth strap been disconnected from the block / gearbox?

thats what i was thinking, when the head gasket was done the rocker cover wasnt cleaned out properly will clean out today and set timing up if its possible.
i suspected idle valve but thats ok.
