Opel corsa 1.4 cuts out now and then please help

First replace your fuel filter.Then give your entire throttle body a good cleaning. If no change, test your fuel pressure. You may have a bad fuel pressure regulator. Do you smell a strong fuel odor under the hood? You may have a leaky injector. Could be numerous things. Throttle position sensor could also be faulty. If the car had no issues prior to you doing the engine work, carefully inspect all of you vacuum hoses to make sure that they were all hooked back up properly. You may have overlooked something simple.

Hi I am a lady owner had the same problem took it for a diagnostic test and revealed that I had to change my Throttlebody positioning sensor and valve sensor did all that and my problems is a blast from the past. Driving my car as per normal now..... Goodluck guys and go for the test its worth it,

Where is that valve sensor located cos it's a similar problem I have now for a month

Ambros, what year is your Opel?

Good Morning, I have a Corsa Lite 1.3 1998 I'm also having a problem where my car backires and loses power, I have replaced the fuel pump, plugs, fuel filter, relay, as well as plug leeds and also cleaned the throttle body but still the same problem, Please help

TimmyM, is your check engine light on? If so, have you had the error codes read? You have already replaced most of the usual suspect parts. Check these other possibilities: Vacuum leaks (especially the large intake hose that feeds the throttle body), clean the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner, check for exhaust leaks, (press hand over exhaust pipe and listen for any hiss noises), check fuel pressure with a gauge. Low pressure will cause a backfire. Post back with results.....good luck!

Thank you, Ive just bought a new idle sensor, there is a small hole on the exhaust the size of a screw

Keep us posted to let us know if the idle sensor and the exhaust repair has fixed the issue. Good luck!

Hi Ree its me Amien I have carsa lite that give me problem - it start by 30 sec then it cut what the problem to solve it thanks bra.

Hummer_1378, my guess would be a bad senor or bad fuel pump. If you remove gas cap and put your ear to the hole, have someone turn the key to ACCESSORY and see if you can hear the fuel pump hum. If no hum, you may have a bad fuel pump or faulty relay. A bad ECT (Engine Coolant Temp) sensor can cause too much or too little fuel to be added when the engine is cold. The ECT is a cheap part and easy to replace. Post back with results.......good luck!

Hi Reelin68. I have a corsa lite 1997 130i. Replaced injectors, fuel filter, dropped a valve and replaced all 8. I have a new idle control valve, new throttle body. But my plugs are getting wet and its pitch black. Computer box is fine have a new exhaust on too. Can you help

Lewis- Here is a short article I found: Wet spark plugs means the spark plugs are not firing. The spark plugs are coated with unburned gasoline, which allows the ignition voltage to short circuit to ground instead of jumping across the electrode gap normally. Wet fouled spark plugs can be caused by flooding the engine when attempting to start a cold engine. This was a common problem on older carburated engines and could be caused by pumping the accelerator pedal excessively, a choke that was sticking shut, or internal carburetor problems such as a bad float or leaky inlet valve that allowed too much fuel into the engine. With fuel injected engines, flooding is seldom a problem unless one or more fuel injectors are leaking, there is excessive fuel pressure, a cold start injector valve is stuck on, or the EVAP system purge valve is stuck open allowing fuel vapors from the charcoal canister to be sucked into the engine. Pumping the accelerator pedal on a fuel injected engine does nothing, but holding the pedal all the way to the floor will usually cause the engine management system to go into the "floor clear" mode while the engine is cranking. This temporarily cuts off the fuel supply to the engine so it will pull in more air and hopefully help dry the wet spark plugs. Ignition problems can also cause wet spark plugs. If the spark plug wires or ignition coil(s) are bad, the plugs won't fire the air/fuel mixture. On engines with individual coil-over-plug ignition systems, arcing between the coil boot that fits down over the spark plug can short the spark to ground and cause misfiring and wet spark plugs. A bad crankshaft position sensor that is not generating an ignition pulse signal can also prevent the spark plugs from firing. The fix for wet spark plugs (assuming there are no underlying ignition coil, plug wire or crank sensor problems) if often just to wait and try starting the engine again later. Spraying some starting fluid (ether) into the throttle body and cranking the engine may get the fire going and dry the plugs. The spark plugs can also be removed and air dried, but that's a pain on many modern engines. I know you have replaced many of the usual suspects. You never mentioned if the car will actually start and run. Or is it just cranking over forever and never firing up? Have you checked for a nice strong spark yet? I guess it would be easier to tell me what exactly you have tested for. I know you have replaced many parts and nothing has made a difference.

Hey I have a corsa eco flex 2010 and its is going into limp mode when ever we have bad weather water is getting in somewhere and causing my car to shut down, error code P2135 - throttle position sensor 1-2 i've had it in the garage and they cant find the fault :( does anyone know what it could be ? the throttle body has been checked and is fine aswell as the sensor on the pedal. so im at a loss now i just have to wait for it to brake again and hope i can find out then what the problem is :(

Reelin 68 do u do whatsp i have problem with this corsa pleas

Had Car serviced Replaced also petrol pump and fuel regulator Oil, oil filter, Petrol Filter, cambelt,spark plugs Battery and idling sensor. And now my car uses more petrol than possible like 4 times more have only this week been stranded next to the road without petrol. There is no petrol smell to make me think the car is overfueling what could be the problem 1998 Corsa 1400

Opel corsa jerking,cutting off,fluctuating idle,backfiring,no fuel Hi I have a corsa lite 1.4 2008 model and I had the problem where the vehicle drives perfect and then sometimes it has a fluctuating idle jerking etc. and cuts off,try to start but does not.when I spray carb cleaner in the throttle body and start then it starts and cuts off. Meaning there is spark.when I turn the key on you can hear the fuel pump come on mut when I try starting it does not.when i Ieave the vehicle for ten to fifteen minutes she starts on the turn and idles perfectly.i was about to give up hope on my vehicle cause I changed coil pack/idling switch/throttle bodyfuel pump /filter etc.then I found that when the vehicle cuts off the fuel pump relay was the problem.when I touch it feels hot gave it a few knocks and the car started right up.i bought an new ralay cost R130.removed the old one sprayed q20 in the connector block and put the new one in and to date no problems(touch wood).the relay is situated on the driver side kick panel next to the accelerator pedal.it is under the computer box has sponge wrapped around it.the relay had a weak solder on one of the connector pins on the inside. Hope this helps you out

Hello Christopher, thank you so much for your advice. I replaced idle sensor,throttle position sensor,air flow sensor, crank sensor, plug leads and plugs. Problem still persisted. Read your article, and removed the cover you mention. When driving the car for a distance the relay became quite hot and the problem of erratic idling and vehicle cutting out would start. Bought a new part for R113.00 and problem solved. Was about to spend a lot of money on injectors, but fortunately this solved the problem.

Hi im having a problem with my opel corsa lite 2005 model 1.4 it does not want to start n fuel is not supplying the injectors and engin light is off.what should be a problem?

Hi I have a problem with Corsa lite 1,4 they do head cylinder to engineering for full service but it's still putting petrol on plugs what can I do to solve that problem

I have an Opel Corsa 1.4 Classic 2001 Model. Having the issue where the engine light comes on, and the car just revs up while while idling some times the engine light isn't even on and still revs high. I keep replacing the throttle position sensor every couple of months to fix the issue, last time I replaces all the sensors on the throttle body and the map sensor. Just cant find a permanent cure for this issue. I am planning to replace the coil pack as well and to check if my car doesn't have a small hole on the Exhaust pipe. getting really fed up.

Hi my corsa bakkie gamma 1.4 these a sound inside the engine when idling even driving but the power is enough but my worry is that noise please help me
