Vauxhall Corsa Clicking Throttle Body... The Fix!

- Today we go through a logical and easy to follow fault finding process to fix a very common and annoying clicking throttle body on our vauxhall corsa.
This issue has also led to non starting of the car when when the clicking is occurring but all is fixed by the end of this video...
If you want to see more of our work then you can find us on instagram @resto_nation or on facebook.

Good and logical video.
Grz from the Netherlands.
Brilliant thanks mate, going to do the earth replacement first and then go from there 👍
Thanx big help I didn't realize about the earth for the ecu I have just changed the head and gasket and painted the bracket that holds that earth so it gave me problems fixing it now
Nice work!
Had a little 'moisture' in the corsa, back lights and front, drivers side. corsa been off the road since as it just wont start. flashing and clicking dash lights, clicking noise from throttle area and behind glove box. it started once since, and fault code reader said it was MAF sensor, replaced that and still it wont start. any ideas?
Loving these new Corsa vids. Great video production and it's pushing me to carry out the fixes myself.
Do you ever plan to make a video showing how to replace a heating matrix or carry out a coolant flush?
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...
My Corsa does this whilst the engine is running it makes the odd random click, someone said it's turning on the AC itself? Any idea what could cause a click when it's running? The belt slows down too
I have the same issue but i my throttlebody is showing op codes on the diagnostic tool
Hi. Liking your videos. Very helpful. Daughter is training to be a doc. Bought her Corsa whilst she is at medical school. She’s had starting probs just as you laid out. I noticed the butterfly literally fluttering when the throttle pedal is depressed. Can’t believe it was designed to be anything other than a smooth opening and closing in line with foot operation. Suggests the throttle body motor or the throttle pedal is faulty. What do you reckon? Did changing the pedal stop the starting issues?
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!
You don't really do sarcasm, do you!😀
I had a swimming pool in my Opel Tigra a few years ago. Removed everything from the engine side of the bulwark, cleaned off the worn silicone sealant, removed the flaps that just served to trap leaves and other debris. Dry ever since.
Result, good stuff 😎
My corsa accelatpr pedal not working when I give gas what can be the issue
I'm having issue what was is
I have problem car ticks over but no power when I press pedal what's that about, very intermittent comes and goes
Unsure sorry.
my corsa make that noises when i turn off the engine.....a was replace batery and after that i have that problem. sorry for bad englis.any help???
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
Can the throttle bodies stop the car from turning over?? Please any help
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
Would a bad throttle body drain the battery also?
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....
