    Default Vauxhaul corsa D 2008my 1.4 z14xep unstable idle and switching off

    Hello

    I am working on this Corsa D 1.4 with Z14XEP engine. The problem is the vehicle has an unstable idle and switches off when coming to a stop.I have attached the fault codes and live values from OPCOM. I have 5 fault codes. I can clear them. I have viewed the map sensor actual values and it seems to be operating correctly. The oxygen sensor voltage seems to be rich all the time please view the attached logs.

    another thing, in live values under manifold pressure ,the voltage fluctuates when the accelerator is depressed but the kPA value stays at 101kPA seems rather strange

    Right, might be wrong, but worth a look, assuming you use rain in your country?

    Lift up the under hood fuse box, look and unbolt the multiplugs, see if rotten as a peach, ?40 + VAT Inglish pounds 1 foot of loom from ECU to fusebox

    open up oil filler cap while engine running and see if its hard to take off as if of vacum, if it is you need to clean rocker cover breather or replace, this fault causes symptoms like yours

    Not going to argue, but the same rumor is a bit longer, also states the oil pressure switch starts leaking, due to excess pressure, again something to do with the breathers, but somehow rumor got mixed up.

    Meaty,
    Once again you are 100% correct, rotten as a peach.

    Well the one and only one of these we at at M-H-M on face value was 100% ECU - but we make it clear we needed to check the wirng to be 100%

    It went to a member of an INFERIOR forum, who diagnosed the loom

    We charged i think 1 hour labour

    Next one i guess as know about it 1 or 2 hours labour + parts + VAT

    When you say "?" thought you was with Toto in Africa?

    Whereevr you are you must use rain like we do otherwise wount have been rotten

    I had an Astra 1.4 2 weeks ago same issue leaking oil pressure sensor. Stealers would charge 2700euro to cust for new loom, ecu, oil sensor, 2 lambda sensors.
    I put new loom on it (560euro over here) ,oil pressure sensor, 2 aftermarket bosch lambda sensors and clean the ecu.
    With labor almost 1000euro.

    In your report you have fault code manifold absolute pressure sensor its worth checking that your EGR valve if it stays slightly open the engine will not idle.
    Tools owned: Hammer, Chisel, Crowbar, Punch, Chainsaw, Cutter and Brain!!!

    Did you know People will question all the good things they hear about you but believe all the bad without a second thought.

    Manifold pressure sensor is also a possibility indeed.
    In my case the loom was completely soaked with oil and of course the oil goes to the lowest points, lambda's and the ecu.
    I took the old loom apart strange enough the oil is not under the isolation tape and wire but in the wires itself so only thing left is to replace the loom.
    The lambda wire's are also soaked and so is the iridium or platinum piece inside not working anymore.
    Same shit happens with Peugeot or Citro?n with the watertemp sensor but then with coolant of course, loom, ecu and most of the connectors are gone.
