Check leads.
Check coil - these have a habit of breaking.

Check the spark leads mate - I had a similar problem on my 1.4 8v LS - turned out that one of the leads was arcing. If you start the engine and have a look in the dark you might be able to see a spark if the leads are shot. Otherwise, start the engine and spray a light mist opf water over the leads (at the spark plug end) and see if it effects the engine - it will bog down if the leads are faulty
ok mate will have a look, im gonna be cleaning all connections so will be good idea to do that aswell :thumbs: come to think of it everytime the car has been having problems the weather has been damp, cold & miserable

have been told to check, connections, fuses etc. as its not doing it all the time it could be a dodgy connection?
anyone know what else to suggest?

Have had a few problems with the corsa in the past few days.
its a 1.4 8v, M reg, 120k on the clock so has had some use :lol:
starts & drives fine from cold (get the usual ticking/tapping from lifters etc) it seems fine runs perfect. altho it seems like once its warmed/been driving for a while it will start to play up.
in order of problems:
- car drove fine untill going home, felt like it was going to stall/cut out at junctions
- stalled/cut out 3 times, tried to pull off & it stalled/cut out
-when i started her up, was really lumpy idle/reved high & also took some time to get going (sounded like was going to cut out)
-when i gave it some revs it seemed like it was going to cut out @ low rpm, like it bogs down, fine @ higher rpm
-once i got moving it drove home fine, no EML/warning lights
-checked oil & water levels, both fine, doesn't seem to be burning any/much oil.
-have driven it about since & has been fine untill last night.
-when on my way home it seemed like it was going to stall @ junctions again, stalled/cut out twice when tried to pull off.
-when started the "engine electronics" light lit up & stayed on so i turned the car off & left it for about 5-10 mins, started fine no EML/warning lights & drove home perfect
:o
im not too clued up on engines etc. any help is appreciated
