Hi people, me Mum's gawjus little Corsa Sport is bloody quick.. When it's going! Recently it's been popping n farting & not firing on all cylinders.. I told me Dad to get new HT leads, but nope, he changed the coil pack instead & it's still sh*tty. A while back while I was driving the car, a few times I thrashed it, man it loved it but then it would conk right out & not start, leave it for 10 mins & hey presto it would start again..(I changed the leads around on the coil pack as this was what the fault code on the unreadable engine management unit said and all was well untill now) I was thinking that these two problems are related but I only a mere woman so need some advice
Is it the plugs or leads or both? If not, what other causes are there & how would I rectify them??
Cheers.

P.S This car was a stolen/recovered, mint inside & out, but the interior electics are well dodgy, like no clock display thingy, no interior light or hazards unless the key is in the ignition & the stereo is useless because it flicks from speaker to speaker all the time like there is an earth prob.. (could this all be related to the same engine probs or no?)

Just wondering if it's a 1.4 or 1.6?
