Check for engine vacuum leaks, that is the #1 cause of high idle speed.

Likely you are talking about the harmonic balancer.
The bolt turns counter clockwise and is generally removed using an air gun. There is another way to do that too but it is a bit dangerous. Using a solid breaker bar (one without jointed end) you can brace the end against the ground with the socket installed on the crank bolt (I actually have a pipe driven into the ground outside just for doing this...I just slide the bar into the pipe and keep it form dropping by using a vise grip on the handle). Once the socket is on the bolt, crank the engine over using the starter, the engine will force the bolt to back out.
After you get the belt installed, tighten it as much as you can by hand and ask a shop to just give it a final tightening with an air gun.
If the socket slips the bar can fly up so be very careful and don't stand where it can hit you!

WHAT IS A PROBLEM IF CAR SWITCH IT SELF OFF WHILE YOU DRIVING ? I USE OTHER CAR TO PULL MY CAR USING A ROPE AND KICK START TILL ITS START BUT BAD REV AND IDLE LOOSING POWER OPEL CORSA LITE 2006 MODEL.

There are many things that can cause this, each will set a fault code in the computer control module of the engine and drivetrain (both are fully electronically controlled). So you must have a fault code test run to read these codes and then diagnose the cause(s)

What is a problem my opel corsa lite 1.4 2006 model rev high when im stoping at the roboot or stop sign even if im not moving after i start rev go high to 200 and it drop down and up again

As long as the idle air control valve is working, ( I assume this is what you replaced, I would first check to make sure it is operating correctly), If it is, then Id begin searching for a vacuum leak

Corsa Lite 1.4 now power not reving up

Possible coil/module bad. Just because you have spark does not mean it is being sent at the right time or with full voltage.

2005 Opel Corsa lite switches off with irregular revs

Front right lower side is the crank sensor ,in line with the crankshaft ,could be this playing up although i have had many problems with this type of engine ,one problem is the computer bolted to the engine ,seem to suffer heat fatigue ,another problem i cannot explain is it just will not start and for this i fit a crank sensor from the earlier version with the toothed front pulley and support then cut the wires from the crank sensor and run them to the one at the front of the engine but they are polarised on the wires so if it doesnt start reverse the wires to the crank sensor ,Now no doubt iam wrong as ever but i do think that the crank becomes magnatised and its affecting the sensor so by moving it to the front pulley it eliminates this problem .

I drive a 2006 Opel corsa lite. it revs itself up to 3000 when i clucth approaching a stop sign and it doesnt go off, just revs up then a few seconds then goes down, does it again while i stop.

I'm not sure if you have an idle air control valve or not, but my mustang did the exact same thing.
I replaced the IAC and the problem was gone.

Rev out of control

Check to see if it has a Throttle positioning sensor. A faulty one will cause the engine not to run properly. It will do like you described with the engine revving and then wanting to cut out.

My opel Corsa lite Revs itself while idling or when I press the clutch while driving. The rpm stays @ 2.. What is the cause of this

A similar thing happend to me turns out it was the idle rev cold switch thing>
basically the switch which provides more fuel and revs when the car is cold, so that when you start the car it doesnt just die off.
the switch itself is a bit mechanical and is perhaps jammed on the full on position. If it happens more when the car heats up. then it is this switch.

what you can do is start your car one cold morning and see how high the revs are, if its still high then its probablly not the switch
