c20xe corsa wudnt start last nite but then wen i left the ignition on for like 2-3 minuits then turn it over it started and then when i drove it it seems to be missin so im guessin maybe a spark problem,
then took it for a spin today, took a while to start again but left ignition on an started it, wen i drove it round i was on my way home wen as i was drivin up a hill it like cut out then started as i was drivin as if it was low on petrol but there is petrol in it and then did it again then it wudnt start bak up so i just want to know isit a spark problem or a petrol problem?
i took the valve off the fuel injector rail an pushed in the valve an petrol came out so there is petrol gettin through, forgot to say i managed to start it again and it started for like 5 seconds then cut bak out, n e ideas?

When an engine is warm the timing needs to be adjusted or it will run like a piece of crap, if the ECU doesnt know the engine is warm then it will run like crap..
Understand?

The ECU pics up a reading from the temp sensor, if that sensor is faulty the ECU will make the car run crap.
Listen to what dave said and try the temp sensor, it's only £10 from Vauxhall.
