Ive got a 1.2 16v corsaB and recently been having running problems... Im guessing it could be one of a couple of things but im not certain.

If I rev and then come off the accelerator the RPM drops waay low and then rises to the normal 900 or so.
Also on some occasions when pulling off from the lights the car just splutters and has no power and will then after a few secs pick up and be OK - its getting dangerous, especially on islands. My management light IS NOT on, so I dont know what to do! Will it be the Idle Air control unit as most people are suggesting or could it be the throttle position sensor or something else? Please help as its only an intermittent problem and dont want to pay Vaux only for them to say they cant find anything wrong...

I get the feeling these engines vaux use are utter shite, everyone had running problems.

It would be quicker if the people who havent got any just posted
