Have a Corsa b just under 100k with the 1.2 8v c12nz engine.
Problem started a couple weeks back when cold for rev below 1.5k it would loose power and act like it wants to stall, privously it drove OK and started first time even when freezing cold.
Roughly a week ago when starting from cold it would have to crank for a bit then would start. Problem persist with map disconnected. And also throttle position disconnected, is have to crank for a while for it to start. There was a code fore Idel speed so cleaned out icv and check to see if the icb motor works, and it did move. Changed the CTS. Cleaned throttle body with carb cleaner.
Car sat for a couple days. Now it would crank rev rises and falls a little up to ~200rpm, trys to kick in a few times. Makes the same of stalling noise. Tested sparks within line light. Only had one so tested each one by one, all flashed up ok. Battery voltage 11.5-12v. It started but much harder than before.
Took it for drive round the block. Fine when moving fast above 2k rpm, no problem. Drove for a bit then cut out in the middle of the t junction. Engine starter motor working with a fair bit of power, just didn't want to start. Tried to start for a bit, nothing and the battery started to flatten. Called up recovery and got the engine running, he jump started it but it was still v difficult.
Got home left on to recharge the battery until the fall kicked in. Turned off, started again much easier than before as engine was hot but still not easily.
And no, engine doesn't have a crank sensor, says so in hynes and also went down to check.
No codes, only idel speed which wasn't relevant, and also the sensors I had disconnected.
Left battery disconected over night to clear all codes, so I can have fresh codes for weekend.
Any suggestion appreciated?
