Disconnect the battery negative cable (never the positive!) for 5 minutes

Disconnect positive terminal on battery, bridge the positive lead to earth for 2 - 3 seconds (this clears the codes) then reconnect.

Job done :o)

SOURCE: opel corsa 1.4i car cuts

My Opel corsa Lite 1.4i, 2005 model cuts off when idling or stopping. I've replace the ignition coil as it was suggested but the next day the problem continued. I've replace plugs, filters, ect. When I'm approaching a place where i have to stop i see lights on dashboard coming out and the engine goes off if i stop or if i put the second gear it kicks again. Please assist as none of mechanics in my area know where to fix now.

SOURCE: WHEN IDLEING VEHICLE MISFIRES AND

The tok tok sound is probably a blown exhaust gasket. Replace the exhaust manifold gasket. As for the rough idle , replace the distributor cap, cap rotor, spark plugs and wires. With any luck this will take care of the misfire at idle and improve your gas mileage for a minimal cost for the repair.

Opel Corsa utility 130i. Doesn't want to idle smoothly, dies down reaching stop, traffic light. Checked timing pickup crank pulley, inspected vacuum lines inlet manifold. Could it be a burned valve?

Fuel restriction and vacuum leaks ate what I would suspect first . TPS with bad spots in its travel , dirty injectors, carbon on throttle plates and bore cause idle stalling by restricting airflow at idle . Throttle body gasket leaks, PCV and EGR are vacuum leak possibilities .

My opel corsa utility not starting low idle

Petrol or diesel? If it's the petrol model.....these cars have known issues with their IAC valve (idle air control valve). It's situated just before the butterfly on the intake manifold. Usually black plastic with 3 wire plug connection. They control the idling by controlling the amount of air bypassing the butterfly at idle speeds. Sometimes you can fix it by removing the unit and spray it with lubricant and cleaning it. Best way is to just replace it.

Corsa utility 1.4 failing to start and it is not giving a spark. it flashes the spanner light about 5 second after turning the key on please tell me what is the problem

Hello Sibusiso,

(From the 2009 Corsa Owners Manual)

Your Immobilizer system checks whether the engine is allowed to start with the key being used. If the transponder in the key is recognised, the engine can be started.

The electronic immobiliser activates itself automatically after the key has been removed from the ignition switch. If control indicator "spanner light" flashes when the ignition is on, there is a fault in the system; the engine cannot be started.

Switch off the ignition and then repeat the start attempt.
If the control indicator continues flashing, attempt to start the engine using the spare key and seek the assistance of a workshop.

See 2009 Owners Manual at the link below.

Good Day, my Corsa is got a high Idling and replaced all sensors on intake and throttle. Still Idling high and workshop light came on. What can the problem be. Please assist me - Thank you.

The cause of high idle are vacuum leaks or a bad or dirty Idle air control. Check pcv valve to see if its working properly. pinch off the hose that supplies the PCV valve. The engine speed should drop slightly. If the engine returns to a normal idle speed, the PCV valve should be replaced. The Idle air control regulates engine rpms.
