u need a star shaped thingy or woteva they are  undo them both and it comes out. if you have the money just replace it as cleaning it will only remove some of the shit and wont take long to clog again. 59 quid plus vat from vauxhalls

lol you got a 1.4 16v these things are a nightmare to get to, and when ya get there its only a mater of 2 screws, i got a 1.6 16v same engine layout and changed this valve myself, basically you gotta remove, thetop of the inlet manifold to get to it,the fuel pipes off the fuel rail, header tank, battery, plastic cam cover, its a pain, just be patient, no need to reset ecu it will do this once you had the battery dissconnected for a while
