Hi, I have a 1996 opel corsa lite. The cars revs goes extremely high i was
informed it is the petrol cable and i have replaced the petrol cable but its fine for
a few days and then it revs extremely high again. It does not happen when i
press my clutch in to change gears, it happens mostly when the car is idling
What could cause this?

Replace both the idling and throttle position sensors. I had the same problem and that solved it.
