i have a 1999 1.2 16v corsa b and i need some help!
i was stationary in a car park with my engine and heater on, all of a sudden the revs went straight down and my engine just stopped.
i then started it again and the revs went straight down and the engine stopped again!
i drove it home but everytime i came to a hault, the revs went down and the engine stopped.

any ideas?

You can't clean em on the 1.2 16v, it's a sealed unit, they're about £85 quid from Vaux and I think it's 3 torx bolts holding it on and a four pin connector, may be wrong tho

Here's a pic of where it is



Pic robbed from Haimsey, hope you don't mind
