sounds like it may be faulty sensors

check the ICV first (a common fault on all corsa)
check ur HT leads and plugs

maybe try the paperclip test or see if you can get it to a diagnostic machine

i had an issue with mine where it wouldnt start when warm, if i started it on a cold morning it would start perfect!
if i stopped at a shop for example then tryed to start afterwads it just wouldnt!

it turned out to be the camshaft sensor only a few quid to replace.

im not saying thats your problem but i bet its a faulty sensor that will be a few quid to fix :)
