Was wondering if anyone could help me, I've got 2 problems. I've got an X-reg Corsa b 1.2 16v SXi 
 
1) When I stop at a set of lights and let the car idle for a minute then pull away it seems to misfire and I loose all power but it comes alright until I stop again?!?!?!? 
 
2) When I'm driving on the open road the steering wheel starts to wobble randomly sometimes. Its not like misaligned wheels coz I'd expect vibration from that not the wheel to wobble. 
 
Can anyone help???? Cheers

Steering wobble is wheel balance, will be about a fiver wheel to sort it. 
 
Misfire could be a number of things, do a paperclip test (search on here for how) and it'll tell you the codes, that'll tell you what's wrong.

Hmm, were both times at the same place? 
 
It's unlikely to be anything else if it's only at certain speeds.

No had it done at 2 different places. It does it at different speeds but its got to be from about 45 up to 75 kinda speed.

I wouldn't think it would be a buckled wheel, its new speedlines that is on it and I've never had any knocks with the car.
