No Performance…help? car chokes….?
Hi. My family just bought a old car (Opel Corsa 1.0 12V – 3 Cylinders) and my father took it to the service, and they changed some things, and it’s good now, everything is OK, but i was overtaking a car, in second gear, about 2.500 RPM i pressed full thottle (i don’t usually do that, but i had this time) and the car was choking, changed the sound, and the RPMs were going down and the service light turned on. I got scared, so i continued driving normally, and when i press the throttle slowly it’s going OK, but if i press it to the floor, it’s choking. The Air filter is clean, so it’s not that, the fuel pump is OK, but there’s a thing on the inlet that costs 40-70 euro, it’s something about the air, i think it decides how much air will be flown into the cylinders, but i’m not sure. So my question is: why the car is not going when full throttle? it shouldn’t choke, it’s 12 Valve. P.S. I’m not pushing the car, but i don’t wanna drive it broken/damaged. THANKS for the answer. Happy New Year
Yeah, I think it’s the MAF too (Mass Air Flow Sensor) But it’s expensive….

maybe the throttle position sensor is the problem
maybe the vacuum advance on the ditributor
replace mass air flow snesor
Check your fuel filter too. That’s a $2 part that can get partly clogged and cause power loss under full throttle.
