ive got a vauxhall corsa 97 and it keeps cutting out. i have changed the coil/ignition pack, the spark plugs, the ht leads, changed the air intake, fuel filter and the carb and it still keeps cutting out whilst driving. Anyone know how i could fix this problem?????

my wifes did same but it was a 1.2 8valve eventually i changed the temperature sensor on back of inlet.problem solved,only cheap so worth a try

Have you thought about it possibly being the crankshaft position sensor. I know they give a lot of problems on the corsa 1ltrs

Sounds like crank shaft sensor my son has the same problem

It may be a problem with the choke....if its cold it may kick in at the wrong time....my vauxhall corsa does it too!

No help I'm afraid-we've got a P reg 1.2 which does exactly the same-cuts out at lights/roundabouts. Gets quite scary and in not fit to drive. My garage has had it several times and cannot find the problem-even happened to the garage owner when he was delivering it back to us. This problem appears on several forums, but I can't see a valid answer anywhere.

i have the same problem only mine has just started the second I had my camshaft changed. My engine justers, and then stalls itself, sometimes when im coasting, or using the thorttle. Mines a 1.2 8v tho, and wasnt doing it before some idiot mechanic changed the camshaft. When I had a diagnostics, it came up with the o2 sensor/ lamba sensor so I went to scrapers and got one off an x reg for a tenner but that hasnt done anything. the dude is trying to make out its nothing to do with him, but it may just be becasue the car needs to get used to a brand new part and work its wat through and lubricate itself. Im getting a 2nd opinon, Anyone help???
