Hi all,

Sometimes When i pull off The car seems to die like im not giving it enough throttle even when i floor it to try and get it to move but yet this dont help and then it will suddenly just pick up like there is nothing worng. I have a 1.2 16v 1999 Corsa.

Has anyone else had this problem? Could you please help me?

Would ibe right in saying it could be the airflow meter??

check all wires ,,,throughly,,,then move onto 1 item at a time ,,start with idle valve then move onto,,senser etc

Im saying the air flow meter tbh - i think they're prone 2 go on this engine - mine went anyway. They're like 20 quid form a scrappy so its a pretty gd and cheap place to start.

Hi all ,

This proble seemed to have stopped it self... But a new one has arose... When im driving down the motorway when i hit about 70- 80mph the enigne management light comes on and a loose power untill i back off the throttle then the light goes off and its like nothing happend.. That is untill i hit 70-80mph again??

Also sometimes when i go to start the car it wont start turns over fine but if i go away and come back after trying it starts.??

I persume these are rellated? Any ideas on how i could cure these problems?

Thanks in advance

i'd still go for the MAF mate

mine does this i have had a new afm put on and its fine fella its common on these

Thats deffinately the mass air flow meter mate.
Exact same happened to mine, got a new sensor for around £20-30 and sorted it
