im also having these problems, got it down to a few little thinks. 1- thermo-time switch (rightside of head under dizzy) 2- earth-strap from coil to block 3-lambda probe 4-earth from starter all these affetc the way it starts and idles, gonna try and sort mine out tommorrow, will let u know how i get on :)

Dnt think Vag-com will work on urs, im sure they only do the vr6 with the 16 pin connection, think it only read ABS codes on anything else, sorry if im wrong tho

because i need to fix the sender unit!!!!!!!!

ne one !!!!!!!!!! :mad2:

can any one help, how do u get into the fuel from the boot, ive taken the black cover off, but thts were i get stuck lol cheers

also what does this switch control or tell what to do??

my local motor factor :(, could tht really cause the prob

nice one will have a quick look at the lambda but bot sure its tht, because it runs beautifully when up to temp with the two pin temp switch disconnected, as soon as the temp switch is connected it strugles

hi again, look throught old post and none have the same sypmtoms as mine, my corrado 2.0 16v 9a, has developed another problen, it seem to be over fueling, when i disconnect the 2 pin temp switch(under the dizzy), it runs but lumpy and when reconnected while run she cuts out, and struggles to start, bought a new sensor and the same happens. would it now be the lambda probe or something else?????????? thank in advance

cheers supercharged, do u think a new lambda sensor then, if so wheres the best place, cheers for the help

hi all, thanks for eading. i recently bought a corrado 2.0 16v 9a engine, when i bought her she wouldnt drive(kangarooing all the time and not revving past 1.5k), so i looked around and disconnected a micro switch on the intake and it worked fine (as far as i kno 1st time corrado). then yesterday i serviced it and no.4 ht lead had a sensor thing on it, now being me i put the new leads on with out this extra piece. and today took it for a spin and doesnt seem to pull as much, and she seems to idle just above 1k also i think she running rich, the exhaust is jet balck and smells, lol, and when i rev it the exhaust pops as the revs die (rev die down slow). ne ideas would be great cheers

ok, i think a little bit of bad explaining, what happens is when i floor it it will only rev to 2k but pulse rather then flow if that makes ne sence thanks again

ne one ??? :shrug:

also when tryin to rev it it would rev up and down on it own(not past 2k) ne suggestion would be great cheers guys :D

ok, cool, when i bought the car it wouldnt rev, until i disconnected it and she drives fine, would it be the switch or sumin else, if it is the switch were can i get one from cheers

can ne one tell what this is thanks

been reading a view old post and i think wot was causing my prob is the knock sensor (which i have disconnected, i think) is it ok to drive the car still?

just to let u kno, fixed the car last night, the prob was a sensor on top of the throttle housing which i can only think it being a rev limiter, disconnected it and she drive beutifully, thanks again for the advice, will hope to see u all soon at a meet, cheers

hi all, just bought my firts corrado and she seems to have a little problem, its a 9a 2.0 16v engine, sometime struggle to start, wont rev past 1500 rpm, and when trying to drive it like it has kangaroo petrol, but sometime it will rev past and be ok, then if left idling it returns to the problem. what could be the prob. thank in advance for the replies.

hi all, im looking at buying my first corrado :), what are the main things to look for the car is a 1.8 16v 1991 with 150.000 mile on it, also is the mileage ok for the year thank in advance
