hi all,
when slowing to a stop in the tintop sometimes the revs drop really low, its now died twice in the last few days as a result, anyone know what this
may be? other than this the car drives fine?

If you want a spare idle controle valve I have one that I was going to bin that you can have.

ICV playing up?
What car?
They also suffer from air leakes around the egr. Spay some wd40 around the hosses and sea if the revs pick up.
Is this your budget mondeo ?

its the missus' 1.2 corsa c.
i think you will find its the crank sensor...
cheers all, ill have a look in the mornin, the mondeo! no, that things a tank, i heard a rumor saloon cars dont go wrong? hope thats true!
Almost certainly the EGR valve carboned up.
Typical Vauxhall clean or better blank off the EGR valve and clean the idle control valve.
And clean the breathers.
With the Corsa I would advise using only fully synthetic 5w/30 in the sump it reduces the carbonisation problems these engine tend suffer from.
Unlikely to be the crank sensor as the engine is stalling because the revs are dropping too low.
With crank sensor failure the engine just stops dead.
