Idle speed failure

Opel Astra 1997  140000 miles
Quite recently, my Opel Astra 1997 started failing at idle speed; it needs to be accelerated continuously so that the engine does not stall. The IAC valve has been replaced and the computer reset as it was indicated, but the problem remained. The vehicle was then scanned and the MAP valve replaced, and the warning that indicated an engine failure on the control panel disappeared. However, the engine has still got some strange and rough noises; it seems as if it purred. I really do not know what caused the problem or what the definite solution might be.

I have the same problem with an Opel cosa 1.4 and I also changed the IAC valve and the MAP sensor.

Hi, Scottie. I finally solved my problem by changing the ignition module, but I recommend you to check as well the oil filter and spark plugs, which usually get dirty or damaged with time and usage. The Opel cars have a complex electric system, so I also recommend you to take it to an specialist for it to be checked. Hope it helps and good luck.
