I have a 1L corsa, when it reaches 3 and a half thousand revs, it slugs and the engine feels like it struggerling. Then the engine management light comes on? It has got worse since i fitted a custom air filter to the car.
It doesnt always do it though?
please help.

Re: engine slugs on power..
whats the MAF?
The car also has a massive flat spot at 3 and a half thousand revs.

Re: engine slugs on power..
Try disconnecting the battery overnight, this will reset the ecu and possibly fix the problem.

Re: engine slugs on power..
yh thats cus they dont have self learning ecu's so you cant reset them, you need a new airflow meter, or try the paperclip test and see what the fault code is....
