emissions too high HELP!
Discussion
Ok,if you spay the inlet box it wouldnt bubble as it has vacuum inside not pressure,if you sprayed with easy start or carb cleaner,it should rev up a bit if it had a leak,id run without a filter,it makes no odds to the mot test if its on or not,the temp sending wire,very confused as to what you are earthing,but id leave alone if it upsets it,id still be looking at the egr valve,does the car ever feel like its sort of 'surging'?
Normally when trying to drive with a steady throttle when say cruising along at 30 40mph,this is one of the classic egr signs and they are common on these,the link i put up shows pictures of the egr,its located at the back of the engine,accessable ish from the passenger side under the dbilas inlet box,round cylinder with plug on top.
Cheers neil.

that wire that is floating there is what i am grounding as it follows the same path as the CTS and when i ground it it makes the needle on the cars dash board go up to way past over heated even if the engine is cold and not switched on, its stopped hopping since i wired it into the negative terminal of the car battery and the car is diving fine at 30/20mph, its just the needle in the car sitting at way past its hottest point.
thanks for all the help your giving btw.

Thats a temp gauge wire,it should connect to another sensor in that vicinity,100%,which explains the gauge doing what it does,is the cone filter dirty at all,can you see light through it when held up to the light?that wire that is floating there is what i am grounding as it follows the same path as the CTS and when i ground it it makes the needle on the cars dash board go up to way past over heated even if the engine is cold and not switched on, its stopped hopping since i wired it into the negative terminal of the car battery and the car is diving fine at 30/20mph, its just the needle in the car sitting at way past its hottest point.

Ok that single wire is the temp guage sender wire,by earthing it the guage will go fully hot,simple test to see if the guage was faulty or the sender,the blue plug behind is the temp sensor for the engine manegment system and has no bearing on the guage operation .... the wire for the sender should be fitted to a small sender with a flat top situated around the inlet manifold area.... that wire is only so long and cant reach too far so have a llok to locate it.
the sensor looks like the ones on the link

the spade slides over it sideways if that makes sense?

Yep thats the typehttp://www.onlineautomotive.co.uk/Vauxhall_Corsa_W...

its had a full service and everything about 2000 mils ago, i took it in for emissions but it failed, he stuck it on the diagnostics machine and it read faults with the EGR (you were right) and it said the idle air control valve was blocked (i dont have a clue) and so ensued the failing of the MOT.

Your problem appears to be that it has been ridiculously modified.
^This^ - bet you've got a badly positioned induction kit to confuse your MAFhttp://i.imgur.com/CG2EU.jpg
