If you have an X14XE engine in your 'B' (1.4 16v ECOTEC), what does it idle at?

Mine in the Astra seems to idle at about 550-600rpm... Bought a new O2 sensor this morning and fitted it but no difference, gonna buy an idle stepper motor and CTS on monday and see if changing them makes a difference.

Do you think my car will fail the MOT because it idles at such a low speed? (MOT is due on tuesday...)

You need the car too run at 900rpm on idle or it will fail on low flow rate
