Hi everyone,

Ive got a 1.2 corsa 96, and it just wont start wen cold and wet. It turns over fine, and the battery doesnt seem to drain but it just takes ages to get going. Wen it has started and gets warm its fine but b4 it gets warm it sometimes jerks me about, like there is no power there, then it wil kick in wi the power wen my foots down!!!!

I have sprayed wi WD40 all the ignition and spark plugs and that, and that seemed to help for about a day but its bak the way it was soon after and the i sprayed it again and it wudnt start

Any help as to wat it may b would be much appreciated

Thanx
Kerry

get new plugs, new leads, new distributor cap and new rotor arm and kiss your problem goodbye

about £20-£30 worth.
