Help Needed!

Post by Ish »

Ok as ive said in the 'About You' section, i have my 2nd corsa now. 1999 corsa b sxi 3d, but i have a problem (it has many but i can solve most)

Wen I start my car, if i put my foot on the accelerator the car almost cuts out before giving the revs, this happens not only wen i start but, well every gear, and sometimes it does cut out. Wether the engine is hot or cold it still does it :( im at a stand still, press accelerator and it almost cuts out then gives the revs after 'chugging along' for 3-5 seconds, put it in 2nd and the same happens again, 3rd same again and so on. Can Anybody help me? :(

Thanks! :D

it could be your fuel pump working too hard does it cut out when first started iif you dont rev it if so its the EGR valve (exhaust Recirculation valve)
