I have a 1999 1.0l 12v vauxhall corsa.
The problem is that the engine just keeps randomly cutting out. The car will start up first time everytime and is completly normal doesnt feel rough or any noises coming from the engine. When the engine cuts out its almost like it has stalled and all the lights on the dashboard come on. Once this has happened the car wont start straight away you have to wait about 10 15 min till it finally will start back up. I changed the coil pack which seems to have done nothing. When the car was being towed back home yesterday we started the engine up and just kept it running see how long it lasted before cutting out, but we put the heating full blast and the engine didnt cut out once and managed to go out on a run with out cutting out spluttering loosing revs at all.
I have been told about drive shaft sensor cam shaft sensor crank shaft sensor temperature sensor. But this was not by a mechanic.
What could the problem be?
Need help urgent.

exact same problem on mine when i had one

was the crankshaft sensor.

Hi, Having the same prob with my corsa, its a 1.6 16v 98 model, took it to the garage and they could not figure anything out and told me it was fine, Took it to another garage and they tell me i need a engine rebuild, seems a lil extreme from one to the other, was wondering if u had found anything else out.

One extra thing i have noticed was a smell of burnt oil and i did have to refil it up a few weeks ago.

ended up being the crankshaft sensor
