i drive a 2000 Corsa B Sxi. i got my accelerator cable adjusted a few weeks ago but since then i have noticed my car keeps jerking, like my accelerator is sticking somewhere. it only happens the odd time but it is uncomfortable and irritating. everything seems fine again once i touch the accelerator again though. anyone any idea's?

thanks

I very much doubt the throttle will be sticking. It'll be a sensor of some sort. Have you had the management light come on?

No problem with the help The ICV is about £30...I think. Call Autovaux for one, they are a lot cheaper then Vaux. What engine is the car? I did mine today on my 1.6 and it took about 10 minutes......the joys of having an aftermarket inlet. If you are fairly compatent with bolts and screws, DIY.

Just noticed yours is an SXI, it's a 1.2 I take it? The ICV is located on the side of the throttle body, and is held in with 2 screws.
