All im saying is 1.2 16V's are NOTORIOUS for poor running, vauxhall must have made the sensors in that engine on the cheap and cut corners!

probably is just a flat spot, nice air filter should help :)

just bought a '99 T sxi (corsa B). genuine 36k on clock but its only done 700 miles in the last 5 months. problem is sometimes when i accelerate the car seems to "back off" briefly (only way to i can think to describe it). i had a 1.2 8v before this and it had the same problem when i first bought it that was sorted by fittin a new sensor (temp sensor i think). does any one else have/had this problem & know what it is and how to solve it. havent tried changing sensor yet thought id ask on here first. cars totally standard at the moment.

:thumbs: cheers for your help fellas (hopefully)
