Vauxhall Corsa Clicking Throttle Body... The Fix! 

Nice work!

Thanks mate. I would but... we’re Selling the car for £1 in a weeks time. Just uploaded the final video a few minutes ago. Go have a watch and you can buy it for £1...

@@Resto.Nation Yeah, i'll give it a watch. I wouldn't mind copping it that crazy steal!

Go for it mate. Somebody has to buy it...

Result, good stuff 😎

Hi, I agree that it should be smooth so it would point to a motor or pedal issue. From memory I changed both that I got second hand from a donor car and it sorted the issue.

@@Resto.Nation thanks helpful. On your video you upped the Earthing and changed the pedal. I could hear that noise that we get from the throttle body still which is the butterfly fluttering (which butterflies in nature do lol) did the starting probs disappear with just the pedal changed? Sorry to bombard you with this but you seem to be the only person on planet Earth to tackle this issue which for a little car like this to have fly-by-wire is such a silly step up from a basic cable. Obviously made production line manufacture easier at the expense of failure down the second hand line. This car has only done 60k and fills up nicely with water thanks to that other issue you solved with the badly sealed servo!

@@docj3wls573 tough question as it was a long time ago. The pedal has a potentiometer in it that I’m assuming gives a variable resistance reading to the ecu that in turn opens that throttle body according to pedal travel. I would say order one at a time and replace them until it goes away. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

@@Resto.Nation agree. I’m going to take the pedal out and measure the variance in resistivity. If that is fluctuating then I agree with you it must be that first. This all started when she ended up with water inside the car just on the driver’s side! ;) that is a clue I think. It’s like CSI Corsa Water! PS Your wife looks like the famous actress Helen Hunt we all think!

@@docj3wls573 sounds like your on the right path 👍🏻. Good luck with it. P.s she’s happy with that likeness!

I'm having issue what was is

Unsure sorry.

I know I sound daft but I'm confused with corsa d 1.4, I turn the key on and just get a click and spanner light flashing on dash

Does it still run?

@@Resto.Nation when i disconect batery and connect again work apsolutly normal....and when i turn off car throtile body start to making nois all time, dont stopping

@@cceettnniikk have you done the ecu ground yet? Have you disturbed a ground somewhere?

@@Resto.Nation no i will tomorow...

@@Resto.Nation i cant belive!!!! i clean all rust wires clamps and ground wire and stoped cliking working fantastic. TY TY TY sooo much

I would say only if it has a permanent live which I don’t think it has... what are your battery drain symptoms?

@@Resto.Nation car is parked over a few days and battery is totally flat, and battery indicator black, bought a new battery and two weeks later same issue totally flat battery, now the throttle has started clicking and the car cannot jump start, also EML has come on. Its a fiesta mk7 2012. Used a clamp meter reading is OK but can't see that anything obvious that is draining the battery down.

@@mrt4409 just to confirm, you’ve got over 12v with everything off and the key removed and over 14v with the car running across the battery?

@@Resto.Nation last battery was showing 9v and wouldnt take charge so I replaced it, today the battery is showing 11v, and car won't jump start at all and throttle is clicking with the key out of the ignition then stops after a bit

@@mrt4409 anything less than 12v is a dead battery. See what you’ve got with the car running. It should go with a set of jump leads....
