Hi again,
Usually when the car is cold (morning) just after starting the engine, I have to press the accelerator a bit to up the revs because the car seems that is going to stall and it sometimes does it when going a very low speed ( i.e cueing at motorways). I think it might be the carburettor, and I heard that you can put something on the fuel tank that it cleans it up, but at the same time I am not sure if this is the problem, it could be a air intake fault. I don’t know, any has got any suggestion?
Thanks guys.

Is your engine modified? Things like camshafts can cause this.

I think you are right about the fuel tank level, this morning it happened “big” time and I was running very low in petrol but at the end the problem could be cause by the carb or something else and to be honest I am not certain of anything. Have you tried the fuel additive to clean the carb?
It could be an air intake problem. I remember in my old nova a I had a selector for cold and hot weather close to the air filter, but I cannot see it in the corsa.

i had the same sort of problem on my corsa, and if you have an air filter it affects the air mass sensor, they cost about £200, best things to do is have an diagnostic test on it mate!

This is very interesting. I have never heard of the 1.4 8v engines on carbs. Was it like that from standard? I know that some very early 1.2 8v's came standard with carb setup because of a lack of engines, so they used nova engines. But never heard of the 1.4 8v on carbs. hmmmm.
