97 1.2 injector low voltage - dazbrit
had a diagnostics ran on my car and it came up with a few problems.

1)Code25 injector(s) low voltage

2) code 24 speed sensor no signal

My car seems to be misfiring and getting no acceleration when throttle is pressed and it struggles as though it is not getting any fuel or no spark by my guess, but i have not a clue about cars.

Cheers

Usually with the ignition on there is a permanent 12 volt feed to all injectors and the ECU grounds the appropriate injector so ther may be an earthing problem at the ECU. Does the speedo work or is it a cable drive on a 97 corsa. Regards Peter

Sounds like a duff speed sensor. I am referring to a fualy/corroded earth at or near the ECU. When you had the diag done did they not investigate this for you. Regards Peter

If the speedo is not working ,then a fault code for speed sensor will be shown.However this only causes stalling and cutting out on the over-run.It will not cause a performance problem.On this year of car the speedo could be mechanical with a cable drive or electronic with a speed sensor in the gearbox.If it is the latter type,then check the fuses,especially the one that controls the cigar lighter.The fault code for low volts to injector may be related to the overall voltage on the electrical system,so a good idea to check battery/alternator charge volts.hth

now you mention it the fag lighter doesnt work and it wasnt long after that went that the speedo went and the rear window heater.

the alternator has been checked using a multimeter and it came out around 14 i think.

the fuses have been checked before and they were all working ok apart from the reverse light one which keeps blowing, thats another problem aswell he he my reverse lights dont work either. I have been told that it is earthing from somewhere.
