Lacks power

2000 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 16 valve
Car: Vauxhall Corsa
Year: 2000
Variant: 1.2 16 valve
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
Engine starts easily but revs to 1500 RPM max, Might this be an ECU fault or maybe the accelerator Sensor at the pedal, if the former would I be able to fit a secon hand replacement unit having the same part/model number?

Had the battery out?
or has it gone flat?
if so the it needs a throttle body reset.
which needs Vauxhall software.
Or if you haven't had battery problems then you have a faulty idle control valve,
very common.
but it would still need the throttle body reset procedure one a new one was fitted.
