Hi, ive got a 95 corsa b 1.2 8 valve, started and runs from cold fine, if i stop when its warmed up i get the check engine light and it wont start unless i press the accelerator to the floor and rev the t*ts of it, it sems to clear whatever it is and then drives ok. im thinking of the engine temp sensor, any ideas folks , thanks in advance

have a look and see if u have a slit intake pipe it might be drawing in hot air when the engine heats up mate
