Check PCV valve and be sure it is not stuck open.  Check for vacuum leak at intake manifold.

Sounds like idle air control valve sticking. If i remember correctly, the idle air control valve is built into the throttle body. This is the part that connects between the air filter and inlet manifold. take this off and clean thoroughly with carb cleaner. if this does not work, then renew part.

In READING what you wrote, it appears that your car is difficult to start and pretty much is rough while running....It also appears that your are randomly replacing parts...How did you verify that the parts your have replaced had failed? I suggest you get a basic manual like chiltons or haynes as well as a decent digital volt/ohmeter, then do some testing. Pay close attention to map sensor test and manifold air temp. Having a good fuel pump does not insure that your injectors are clean enough to deliver a good spray pattern This will not show up on any test...you need to actually look at them. There are other items to look at but I think you will likely find your problem in what i mentioned. (you already checked for vacuum leaks, right?)
Good luck!

What is a problem my opel corsa lite 1.4 2006 model rev high when im stoping at the roboot or stop sign even if im not moving after i start rev go high to 200 and it drop down and up again

As long as the idle air control valve is working, ( I assume this is what you replaced, I would first check to make sure it is operating correctly), If it is, then Id begin searching for a vacuum leak

Revs up while idling

If you didn't correctly reinstall the PCV hose from the black box at the throttle body back on to the valve cover, you might have a vacuum leak causing your high idle. I'd check that first. That is a common mistake to miss that rubber hose. It's hidden underneath the black box at the front of the valve cover. If it is loose, just loosen up the boot at the throttle body, and the two bolts on the right side of the black box above the valve cover. Reposition the 90 rubber hose back on to the valve cover and recheck it. A hissing noise with the engine running is a good indication that the engine has a vacuum leak somewhere- usually a rubber hose disconnected from the intake manifold or throttle body.

Nissan p0507

A P0507 DTC trouble code may be caused by one or more of the following:
A vacuum leak Leaking air intake after the throttle body
EGR valve
leaking vacuum
A faulty positive crankcase ventilation (PCV)
valve Damaged/failed/dirty throttle body
Failed EVAP system Failed IAC (idle air controller) or faulty IAC circuit.
you would need to check these. some times its just a glitch in a sensor when the revs go to high. remove the code and see if it comes back. can activate this code if revs to high.

Nissan xtrail idle problem revs too high when idle

A high idle meant there is excess air bypassing the idle control valve. Check for vacuum leaks. Also the throttle body may be sticking open or the throttle cable not adjusted correctly.

The engine is idling high around 2500 rpm, I have already replaced the idler air control valve. No vacuum leaks are present.

There will be a vacuum leak around the base of the throttle body gasket. You can confirm this by spraying carb cleaner around it's base. You should remove the throttle body, clean it thoroughly and replace the gasket. If you would like to really check, you can get a scan tool and monitor IAC counts. If the engine is still idling high and the counts read "0" on a warm engine, this means that the computer is trying as hard as it can to block all idle air, so it must be coming in somewhere. Possibly the throttle valve? has anyone been playing with the factory setting on the minimum idle screw?

Opel astra 1600 16v jerks at low revs when car is hot/warm, fuel filter new air filter new, replaced fuel pressure reg, new plugs, still the same, 3 bar feul rail.

sounds like the iac might be giving problems, check ur idle air control valve on the side of you throttle body if its working right, replace if not.
