i have a 1997 corsa sport 1.4... its misfiring really badly... i have changed the coil pack and leads and plugs but its still misfiring... its so sluggish until the revs pick up to about 3000 but still misfires... struggles to start sometimes aswell... anyone got any ideas on what this problem could be cheeers guys :)

if its a 16 valve engine (x14xe) then yh it could be either the camshaft sensor or crank sensor but the 8 valve engines dont have a camshaft sensor...

crank sensor is located behind the bottom pulley on a bracket if its a 16 valve engine, which im guessing it is as you havent said :lol: plus its a 97 sport so it should be :)
