Hello i am driving an Astra 1.6 petrol 16v sxi from 2002. In the last 3 weeks i have an problem with it. The checking light lights up and my rev keep going up. Slowly but the rev are going up. If i take my foot off the gas pedal the car starts to "choke". I noticed this problem first time after i filled the car up and added antifreeze.

No .4 Should have read .Check coolant level and top up if needed .If still having problems , bleed cooling system though not normally needed .Also check no vacuum hoses or pipes off or leaking .
