Take a plug out and test it on bare metal.

If its not firing at all then maybe give it some gas when trying to start? I'm guessing you've already tried though, mine did this after HG and it turned out to be EGR stopping it from starting, just had to put foot on the accelerator (sp?) when starting!

What colour is the spark? If my memory is correct it should be a blue spark, if its yellow it means the plugs are fucked and it wont start with them, if its blue they are ok.

Mine is awful when it plays up, a lot of peoples just make the car kangaroo when coming off the throttle but when mine sticks open, all hell breaks loose.
It stalls when slowing down, it wont idle, it wont start on its own if its warm!
Lol, it sounds like ICV but its not as I checked, all the EGR! When it happens again its getting blanked lol

This is general chat FFS, not Help Zone.

Do you think different forums are there for the sake of it?

I am not helping you until you put it in the right section you ignorant tit.

EDIT:
Help Zone, Modification and ICE Advice (Moderated by: jr, Matt H, willay)
Post and solve your problems here. Now includes ICE discussion.

Now tell me, which forum should it be in?

Double EDIT: Infact, you can stick it up your arse for being a cheeky cunt. Take it to a garage.

It's not a case of being 'not chilled' I am sick of bellends not grasping a VERY basic concept of which forum to use.

If you want shit answers, stick it in general chat like a spastic. If you want bonafide nailed on answers and not second guesses by people who do not have the knowledge to venture into that forum then put it in the right place.

Frankly, I refuse to answer your question which I am 99% sure I know the answer to, purely because you are taking the piss and do not take advice.

I'm not a moderator so I can't move topics if you haven't noticed... You seem really pissed, all I have done is post a problem with my car in the general chat because not very many people look the the help zone and I need this sorted ASAP because I used my car to get to work college ect... Sorry if it pissed you off so much I'll bare the help zone in mind for future use...

General Chat is there for just that, general chat.

If you want a serious reply put it in the serious section.

It isn't a case of being pissed, I have had a few, I am sick of people taking the proverbial and posting in the wrong section and wondering why they get crap answers - aka Doyle.

You sound like a simpleton that cannot grasp a very basic concept.

I'll tell you what? Why not get rid of every other fucking section and just have everyhing in here eh? House Day, Help Zone, Sports Day, Off Topic, For Sale, Wanted etc.

It seems the easiest way when people are too FUCKING DUMB to use the relevant sections.

This forum is shit in the first place and the sections and layouts are crap so it doesn't make any difference what section you post in.

You're going to ask "well why do you come on here if you say its shit", my answer would be "to check the for sale threads".

Great, I will push for For Sale to come in here as well then as the complex layout means you clicked 'General Chat' and not 'Classifieds'

If you go in via the main page, http://corsasport.co.uk/board/index.php you will find it as the third section down. It has BIG writing at the top saying TRADE, just under that it says CLASSIFIEDS and just under that is a brief overview of what that section is for incase people can't guess from the bloody title?

The forum would be far better if people used it properly.
