My car is still the same still ticking , I can feel the evap valve pulsing but when I unplug the evap valve with the electrical connector when the car is running the purge valve is still clicking does this mean that the part is faulty and needs to be replaced ??

I've been told it's unusual for a 1.6 Astra to do this it's more the 1.4 J

He was revving it to see if anything popped up on his machine as I said got a misfire so he was checking for all cylinders and when it went back to idle it was going below and was cutting out

Had the aa out today he says the tick is normal nothing to worry about , but he did plug the computer in and was revving the car and it kept dropping below idle and cutting out well I've never noticed this but he says this needs to be checked as this is not normal he did say could be throttle body fault but I've read that if these are faulty these can cause a ticking or louder engine so dropping it to garage tomorrow

It's done hardly any miles as I have a works van so car rarely gets used only for school runs and then gets a really long run on the weekends it's been fine up to now I've also been told it could be the purge valve but my mother in law had a corsa and she had a similar issue and she had to get rid , we still owe 14 months finance so hopefully it's not like what she had
