last nite my corsa b 1.0 12v came up with a nice orange light on the dash board and it hasnt gone off since. when i accelerate slowly from start, at 1.5k it jolts and then doesn't go then jolts and doesn't go like the petrol is being cut off and then suddenly put back on. it is ok if i accelerate a bit more, but if i try to accelerate gradually it really jolts so i cant drive smoothly.
i have tried the paperclip test but it appears that my car will not respond to it as it is a 99T (possibly). i have cleaned the idler control valve, put injector cleaner in this morning, but i dont want to go to vaux and them charge me the earth for what is actually a small plastic sensor!!
any help would be good
thanks
tom

Sounds as if the cam belt could be slipping, just something else u could check.
my cam belt tensior had broken and i had orange light and couldn't pull out of junctions properly

has anyone got a 1.6 16v they want to sell me? even a 1.4 16v would do.

could be the egr valve, best thing to do is take it to a local garage that can read fault codes to tell exactly what it is, saves a lot of guesswork and money changing things till u find it.My local garage charged me £30 when i thought it was the oxygen sensor (£120) turned out to be the egr
