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.

SOURCE: My 1996 opel corsa is losing power while driving, and sometimes it is cuts out completly. The only way to get it to go again i have to stick my foot to the floor that usually works, there does be a re

Sounds like you not getting enough fuel. Try replacing you fuel filter which sits under neath the rear near the tank. Just follow the line from the tank and you'll see it or it can be a faulty fuel pump You should get 3 bars pressure from it.

SOURCE: opel corsa 1.2 easytronic 2007 car starts roaring at a full stop

Hello
The Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.

SOURCE: When driving suddenly the engine cuts out.

I heave the same problem on my Corsa B 1.0 2000, engine cuts out, and whe it happens, I hear one of the relay under the right side of the dash buzzing. After a couple of minutes, starts like nothing happend.
So far I manage to find that the speed sensor is faulty, when I tap him the car stops. I order a brand new one, but I'm not sure that was the issue.
I order also a Opel Tech2 tester from ebay and it has to arrive next week, then I can see the error code.

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 1.4i has ahigh and low revs sometimes Why Corsa lite 1.4i has a high and low idling speed?

It might be the idle air valve is sticking or one of the sensors is intermittently providing false information.

My car will have high revs or low revs at anytime and also just cuts out while I am driving.

Invest in a cheap OBD fault code reader from Amazon or eBay. This will help you pinpoint the problem(s)

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.

Idels high then low eventually cut out

combination of emissions controls and ignition control issues and mine which is a 91 does the same exact thing because the defrost controls cause the engine to rev up high then slow down.. I disconnected the ac compressor so it does not come on..mine has some vacuum issues that I have not corrected yet but as old and as many miles as is on it Im gonna leave it alone until the motor blows up ..it smokes now and has over 300,000 miles on it.. rebuilt twice..5 head gaskets..6 timing belts and even when its really cold outside, it will start up when all my neighbors' cars wont..funny as heck..

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

99 mercury sable automatic trans vehicle idles very low randomly even stalls out sometimes high idle occurs as well reaches about 4000 rpm at times. engine light threw 4 codes, all to do with o2 sensors...

Sounds like a broken or torn vacum hose, pcv valve clogged, or bad Idle air control motor. Did you spray carb cleaner on vacum hoses or near the plastic intake., and did the motor rev up or down? Those codes represent a lean condition which means most like a vacum leak or clogged idle air motor. Sometimes the intake manifolds crack or the intake manifold gaskets crack. FInd that vacum leak or inpect iac motor
