i have a 1 litre 12 valve corsa and it does not start without me using the throttle. i have changed the spark plugs and the coolant temperature sensor. Has anyone else got any ideas of what the problem could be?

Spray the HT plugs, take the dizzy cap off and spray in there and spray the coil connections for a start (With WD40)

Could be the coolent temp sensor then - if the ECU light comes on then it's a broken sensor...
