My Opel corsa Lite 1.4i, 2005 model cuts off when idling or stopping. I've replace the ignition coil as it was suggested but the next day the problem continued. I've replace plugs, filters, ect. When I'm approaching a place where i have to stop i see lights on dashboard coming out and the engine goes off if i stop or if i put the second gear it kicks again. Please assist as none of mechanics in my area know where to fix now.

    Hi there

    Sorry didn't realize I hit 'send'. I drive a 2006 Corsa Lite 1.4 and have exactly the same problem. Not only that but the fuel consumption on the car is terrible, especially for a Corsa. If anything I make 440km to a full tank. Have you been able to sort the problem out with yours? I've been to and spoken to countless people and mechanics, all with different opinions and none of which have worked out right. Please advise me if you can.

    Sometimes when the car cuts there is a distinct smell of petrol.

Hi yes this can be caused by crank pulley key way, however i found this issue on a few opel's, and some was caused by diffrent issues, but same symptoms, some had bad fuel regulator, some crank pulley key ways issues, some idcv units. but then i found one caused by airways been blocked in throttle body and another was in fact caused by fuel relay, also one had a faulty ECU.

so this needs to be inspected individually as it could be several issues. 0740784593 Johann

Have your mechanic look at the bottom timing gear. What happens is the key-way that keeps the gear in place breaks off and this then causes the timing to offset.

My 2007 Opel Corsa CDTI car cuts out on occasions, usually when slowing down in traffic. It usually starts when I switch the ignition off, wait a few seconds, then it starts.

Check the idle speed and adjust if low, Injectors can't leak back but they can leak into the cylinder and cause idle problems .
