Vauxhall Astra lack of power

Variant: 1.6 16v sxi
Model Year: 2000

Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss

recently when a was traveling i fueled up and as soon as i did i noticed a lack of power in the car, a thought it was maybe a bad batch of fuel so let the fuel tank go to almost nothing before fueling back up, when did car felt slightly better but there still is a lack of power, sometimes it just gets an injection and off it goes and others it just wont move,

Try changing your fuel fillter,put some Red X in your tank,think its the cheapest start to your problem,then a mini,service,good luck

replace the fuel filter and this will give you the results of whether you need to go any further ie servicing but its up to you part number 25320277 these are only about 6 pounds from the dealer

Its not uncommon to get a bad squirt of fuel but it should have passed by now and it generally does'nt leave lasting problems, i would say you may have a mass air flow sensor prolem, try unplugging it and then running the car
