Just took my car out for it's first drive and it idled fine in my drive and revd fine

as soon as I pulled away it cut out now it struggles to idle and cuts out when I try to pull away

it's getting fuel and spark and no errors on the eml light

Did you sort the map sensor problem out on it?

If the plugs are black the map sensor is probably goosed as i had the same problem on a 1.4spi engine mate but no EML was on.

The map sensor came from a working car

Took the plugs out cleaned them and it started first time anything else that can cause it to over fuel? No eml light on

if its a 8v mpi, there should still be a mixture screw somewhere on it.... my e16se has 1 on the afm/ecu

No mixture screw on the CxxSE's as there is no AFM, uses MAP instead.

If the plugs have got that black i.e soaked in fuel they are scrap. Replace them (plain old Vauxhall items are cheap and do the job). Then see where you are. That much overfuelling is normally only one of three things. Lambda sensor, MAP sensor (sensor, wiring or vacuum pipe) or water temp sensor.

CaN anyone tell me exactly where the vaccum pipes go to from the inlet I know one to the map sensor one to the fuel rail and what about the others

Also I shorted something on the back of my clocks so my temp guage dosnt work

also my car will now not turn off with the key lol

There is a take off for the carbon canistor, one for the brake servo (with the one way valve on) and there might be another on the corsa - not sure what that one is for on top of the ones you've got ^^^

I've removed the carbon canitor when fitting the engine to my nova

right done the blink test again and im getting map sensor code 33

ill try another one

also i have a vaccum take off on the right of the inlet one at the back and on just where the airfilter pipe goes

the one on the right is for the fuel rail and the one on the back is for the map sensor

the one beside the airfilter pipe must have been for the charcoal canistor, can i just block this off or T it into the pipe for the map sensor
