Hi, i had the same problem with my vauxhall corsa b 1.0L, and we found out that it was the air flow meter and i think it may have also been to do with the crankshaft sensor

I get the occasional bit of hesitation when pulling away, but not enough for me to do anything about it at the moment... It only happens sometimes when the engine is hot (like after sitting in traffic for a while and then pulling away).

I got this alot, scrary when your trying to take off into a roundabout then its Slugs up on you and you think your stall then it takes off. I blanked the EGR and it fixed alot of issues i had.

It rarely happens, but i quickly release the throttle then put my foot back down again when it does happen :D
