Im needing some help. engine lights coming on in my 1.4 16v sport. it started last nite. the revs fluctuate quite bad when idleling and when the clutch is pressed the revs stay above 2000 instead of just under the 1000 mark. it doesnt sound too good either. im thinking the icv. but i plugged in my mates ecu thingy and it was telling me the coolant temp sensor. any help or suggestions would be apprieciated. cheers

I had this on my old corsa and was the idle control valve.
Take to Vauxhall for a reading.

you can read your ECU fault codes by counting the number of flashes the EML does. do a search on here theres a whole tutorial on this site about it
