Hiya guys, in a bit of a muddle, im going to be aquiring a corsa sport very soon but it has a running problem.

Its a 1.4 16v and it appears to be running lumpy, i cannot for the life of me figure out what it is!!! a sensor? fueling? coil pack? i know its not a very good description but hey! just what i have been told, just want to get my head round a few ideas before i decide whether its good to go for it or if its financially going to cripple me as ive already got another car.

Hope this makes as much sence as possible!!!

any ideas?

cheers

Does it just idle lumpy, or is the drive not so clever either?

Could be the Idle Control Valve (ICV) or clogged up air intake (debris or similar)

Could just need a service mind.
