Corsa stalling - far0n
My girlfriend has a 1 litre S reg Corsa. She's been having trouble with it stalling at junctions. What generally happens is when she dips the clutch the revs drop and keep dropping until it eventually stalls. Either that or the revs drop as low as 400-500 rpm then it realises it's about to stall and wakes up. Poor lass is worried sick !

Sounds like the ISCV (Idle speed control valve) could do with a clean.

Our old Corsa does that ... how pricy is it to have the ISCV cleaned?

DIY job if you can locate it - no idea where it is on your Corsa - sorry. Remove and clean with some carb cleaner.

Hopefully someone will be along shortly with more details.

If this is a three-cylinder X10XE unit; the idle is controlled by a flat black-plastic stepping motor bolted to the driver's side of the throttle body. It acts as a variable throttle stop and they often fail.

Before spending out any money; carry out a quick compression test to rule out a inter-cylinder leak through the head/gasket - these are very, very prone. [Sent two W-plates to the scrappies for that in just the past week.]

Off the top of my head it's a 12v engine, My foggy memory is almost certain there were 4 spark plugs though.
