Hi,
I have a corsa b 1.2 sxi.
When i start the engine the revs drop low to about 600. Once I have been driving the car and turn it on again the revs drop really low to about 200 and sometimes even cuts out all together! 
Also sometimes I have flat spots in the lower gears. Is this to do with the above?
I think the the problem I have is Idle control valve but could anyone just confirm this and also is a idle speed control valve the same??
Where can I get one really cheap or second hand and where abouts in the car is it?
Thanks lads!!
Steve

haha sorry steve basically buy some carb cleaner the one shown and then do a few things...
firstly give ure ICV a nice clean with it, some people remove it some don't i didn't remove mine just blasted it with the stuff then i also cleaned my intake via the instructions provided on the carb cleaner.
If you still have problems then i wouldn't fork out to buy a new one in case it isnt that and it is your EGR, lamba, temp sensor or something else - try having a diagnostics check and then u can act upon it 
maybe even flash ure codes if ure corsa lets u, mine doesnt so i can't but most can? dunnno if u know how to do that so:

then check this for carb cleaner and inlet info:

my problem, quite similar but it was EGR valve so i removed it and cleaned it - that solved the problem (used carb cleaner again on it  )

Theres some more posts i made on it i think lemme find the info then i will post again
